Increased 20:4n-6 and the ratios of 20:4n-6/20:5n-3 and n-6/n-3 are commonly viewed as pro-inflammatory, but unexpectedly were consistently inversely associated with responses in inflammatory proteins. In summary, a very low carbohydrate diet resulted in profound alterations in fatty acid composition and reduced inflammation compared to a low fat diet.

I believe Dave Feldman's research supports this dynamic as well: http://cholesterolcode.com/
Determining the effects of fatty acid composition in the diet is important to be able to select the healthy fats and truly understand the recommended combination of sat fats and PUFAs for humans with the goal of minimizing inflammation. Feldman doesn't get into this detail at the moment. |
