Episode notes
Eicosanoids and Inflammation
- The inflammatory molecule eicosanoid comes from oxidized fats we consume.
- These oxidized fats can originate from seed oils or meats.
Inflammatory Cascade
- Eicosanoids create leukotrienes, thromboxanes, and prostaglandins.
- These, in turn, influence inflammation, impacting conditions like allergies and asthma.
Oil Choices
- Avoid processed oils due to oxidation, which contributes to inflammation.
- Olive oil is the healthiest, followed by avocado oil and ghee.
