New Content in Classroom: Omega-6 and cancer (Tucker Goodrich)
I cut this video from these two Tucker Goodrich episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSp8-JMGDs0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU23swxDT84 The focus of 1) the first video is a study in which seed oils promote the mutation of the P53 Gene - which is directly responsible for cancer: this gene is a tumor suppressor gene, turned off, tumors can start to grow. (About 25 minutes) This is not done by Omega 6 directly, but by one of its metabolites, 4-HNE. This is highly toxic and ongogenic! 2) the second video, starting at minute 25, is the study I alreday mentioned in the classroom: The Ghosh 2004 study. Omega 6 in mice did damage the cardiolipin structure severely, leading to the unability of the mitochondria to metabolize glucose. In the discussion of these gentleman here, they more focus on the implications on heart disease, in which Omega 6 fats also play an important role, as they are the primer that make the LDL susceptible to oxidation in the first place. This is the reason asian countries don't have much heart disease, though eating loads of carbs: They don't (didn't) have much Omega 6 fats to go along with the rice. MUST WATCH if you wanna prevent cancer, want to prevent recurrance and / or want a better cure efficacy :-) 💪👍
