O-6s also down regulates thyroid function, decreasing metabolism.

I didn't want to mention sat fat benefits, because I hate making heretical claims without time to back up them up, but I agree.

Even the AHA has admitted that stearic acid, a sat fat, is fine. As we turn up the power of the microscope on nutrition, sat fats suddenly aren't blanket bad for you. It looks like I depends on the form, source and context you're eating it. I try to down a lot of coconut milk/oil. It's a healthy sat fat, a MCT that's burned immediately instead of stored as fat.

The AHA promotes O-6s by the way. It seem like there's a lot of cached thought in nutrition. Many in the field can't design a study. They test a "high-fat diet" without thinking it matters what fats were eaten, and in what form.
