I found that I was a bit "dry" (skin) when I tried to avoid as much UFAs as convenient for me. When I began to eat some "junk food," low in PUFAs but sometimes with more than a little trans fatty acids, and undeniably a reasonable amount of MUFAs, I was less dry. Then I noticed a bit of rashiness, so I cut back a bit on the "junk food," and I think I've got the right balance now, but I don't think dietary PUFAs have anything to do with it. Some dietary MUFAs or even TFAs might be okay, but the PUFAs don't seem useful on any level, even involving the most minor case of skin dryness conceivable. |
