not read your link, but its supposed to work like DNP isn't it? an uncoupling agent? I was goign to use Dave Palumbos Lipolyze that has it but it was a pain in the ass to get over. and expensive.
Experts searching for the underlying cause of today’s rapid rise in obesity discovered a surprising link dating back more than 30 years: As people have become busier and busier, their consumption of processed foods containing vegetable oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids has increased by at least 24%. This has caused an extreme imbalance between omega-6 fatty acids and their counterparts, the omega-3s. The ideal consumption ratio between the two is 1:1, yet today the ratio is more than 20:1 – with the deck dangerously stacked in favor of omega-6s.
Small doses of omega-6 fatty acids (found in corn, sunflower, and soybean oils) are necessary for good health. Yale research shows that once digested, they’re converted into arachidonic acid (AA), an inflammatory fat that activated the immune system and initiates the healing process whenever injuries occur. “But AA is extremely toxic in high doses,” cautions biological chemist Barry Sears, Ph.D. “AA triggers chronic inflammation that damages cells, causing health problems and speeding body and brain aging.”
Complicating the matter, says Sears, is the fact that the protective mechanisms the body has in place to shield itself against AA poisoning prompt weight gain. The reason: Once the body detects high blood levels of AA, it shuttles the toxic fat into adipose tissue for storage. But since AA can damage fat cells themselves, the presence of AA inside adipose tissue stimulates fat cells to divide and grow in order to dilute the acid. “Worse still, excess AA increases production of endocannabinoids, hormones that make people crave the very omega-6 rich foods that caused their AA overloads,” says Sears.
Statin drugs are also known to increase the formation of the inflammatory fat AA says Sears, “That explains why statins cause memory loss – AA can trigger brain inflammation.”
EPA, an omega-3 in fish oil, inhibits the activity of the PPAR-alpha transcription factor enzyme that converts the omega-6s into AA. Instead, omega-6s are transformed into dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), an essential fat that can reduce inflammation. Plus high doses of EPA block hunger-triggering endocannabinoids to prevent food cravings for up to six hours per dose.
