2:54 – what we think about cod liver oil as a vitamin A source

9:50 – why someone may benefit from cod liver oil, and why it likely isn’t a result of the retinol

10:56 – the immunosuppressive effects of omega-3s

14:25 – the major problems with omega-3s, including cod liver oil specifically

25:33 – clarifying our thoughts on the Croissant Diet

28:26 – burning saturated fat versus burning PUFA and whether PUFA create more ROS than saturated fats

31:41 – what we think of the idea that consuming saturated fats will allow for fat loss by causing insulin resistance in the adipocytes (fat cells)

42:50 – why increasing fat burning doesn’t inherently lead to increased fat loss

47:11 – whether increasing satiety is the key to fat loss

Mice study showing that omega-6s increased the risk of autoimmunity, and while omega-3 supplementation prevented this it also greatly increased sepsis and mortality (1)
PUFA content in "membranes" increases permeability to protons and other ions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Membrane saturation as the primary factor that determines aging and lifespan (1, 2)
Diets containing greater than 1.8% fish oil increase lipid peroxidation and urinary MDA excretion is an indicator of lipid peroxidation in the diet and tissues (1, 2)
Fish oil (including cod liver oil) gets oxidized in the gastrointestinal tract (1, 2, 3, 4)
Cod liver oil consumption increases lipid peroxidation (1, 2)

Ep. 48: A Critique of The SCD1 Theory of Obesity (The Croissant Diet Part 2) (podcast episode)
The respiratory quotient tends to reflect the food quotient (the amount of carbs/fats we use as a fuel is directly correlated with the amount of carbs/fats we consume) (1)
Carbs vs. Fats: Which is the Better Fuel? (article)
Evidence against the carb-insulin theory of obesity (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Inhibited energy production causes fat gain (1, 2, 3)
Ep 75: Hormesis As An Anti-Scientific Defense For Industrial Pollution & Chemical Exposure (Part 1) (podcast episode)
Hunger signals are dictated by energy availability (1, 2, 3, 4)
Low free fatty acids (FFA) causes stress (1, 2)
