Discussion of burns and cytokines. I have seen manuka honey work wonders on wounds..no idea on sepsis

[RummyChick]

This might explain the manuka honey phenomenon with burns and Il 6.

I have been using nothing but clarified butter/ghee for everything and I mean everything!

I cook with bacon fat, beef fat, butter, and avocado oil.

I have been trying to increase omega 3 and reduce omega 6 for a long time. I believe the ratio between these is important for health. Oily fish is good, i happen to really enjoy it.

Interestingly almonds have a really terrible ratio on this

Unfortunately our food supply is distorted so far from nature- government subsidies force use of corn syrup, GMO corn and soy into our food, starting with the feed given to animals. Even at local farm level it is nearly impossible to find chicken or beef or pork that isn’t fed corn or soy.

Yeah - and one of the newer the “standards” is to tell folks with no cholesterol problems they need more Statins “just because” - by now one might figure it’s Big Pharm money driving medical “science”...

17.4% of the fat in almonds is Omega-6 fat.

Unfortunately, it has no Omega-3 fat.

Yeah I am for a 1 to 1 ratio of omega 6 to omega 3. That was one of the findings of people in the blue zones. that they had ratios of 1-2 to 1 for omega 3 and omega 6.

[ckilmer]

you want a 1 or 2 to 1 ratio for omega 3 and omega 6

Cotton seed oil is not healthy. It is not food. It is a cheap by-product of the textile industry.
I avoid it like the plague.

Before the invention of seed oils for cooking, everybody had a much lower consumption of omega 6 fats.

If you avoid oils high in omega 6 fats such as canada oil and soybean oil, you can eat anything else you want and you will likely consume less omega 6 fats than 99% of the population.

[Mount Athos]

i agree
