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

You're still correct doc. People believe some strange things about foods, supplements and certain diets. Much is hype, and a lot is just modern snake oil.
