NOT nutrition.org, not homeopathic anything, not some web site, and certainly not that ridiculous journal that publishes dissertations by candidates for a doctorate in pharmacy
BTW, our bodies are constantly breaking down cell membrane phospholipids into arachidonic acid, which is a precursor to a whole array of both beneficial prostaglandins as well as not so welcome inflammatory mediators through the action of cyclooxygenase and lipooxygenase.. I doubt that oral intake of arachidonic acid, if it even survives digestion, would have any effect on these processes
And I STILL think this thread was masterminded by VPL




I think VPL has left us for the vegetable patch up there. I know one thing, when people start spouting things like "Big Pharma" and allude to just take pills, I know they are against traditional medicine which is close to a religion to me.


I won't bore you with all of the dramatic and sad things that would have happened without traditional medical science. The folks who would be missing from my life. Also the folks in medicine that I almost deify.


I am a decent cook and I also understand nutrition fairly well so our diet is varied and healthy with exceptions for fun eating here and there. (A little too much at this time of year) but what value is your life without legitimate pleasure.


I think I am sorta mad. But certainly not at you Doc. WELL SAID, KIDDO.
