From last Friday, May 7th: discussing some follow-up data to this post from last year:
"David Gornoski is joined by nutritional researcher Tucker Goodrich. The two talk about camping as a break from modern excessiveness; the connection between linoleic acid and COVID; and more. Are people who are high in Omega-6 fatty acids more susceptible to COVID? What is ARDS? Should chicken consumption be decreased? Is butter bad for us as certain “studies” claim? Are peanut and palm oils good for us? Listen to the full episode to find out."

Nice discussion. Agree about covid and PUFAs as a veritable inflammatory powder keg. Don't forget how critical vitamin D is as well. Widespread vitamin D deficiency in the US. I have much respect for vitamin D and deficiency risk for exaggerated cytokine storms after struggling for several years with an undiagnosed parathyroid adenoma not realizing my vitamin D levels were abysmal. My PUFA consumption was low, very fit, whole foods paleo type diet, but my body would attack itself relentlessly if I caught a virus.
ReplyDeletethat's interesting. what'd you change to fix vitamin d levels? just more sunshine?
