@ScepticalDoctor @RayPeatQuotes Polyunsaturated FAs are vulnerable to oxidation in the cell. Monounsaturated FAs seem to be relatively stable in a redox context. Most of the lit you’ll find is quite granular, regarding downstream metabolites of linoleic acid. For example, search 4-HNE on pubmed as a start.

@TeamHerrold I mean it in a complimentary way, of course. I’m a friendly reply guy (98th percentile). I can recognize the down sides to being conventionally handsome enough to facilitate a 250k catfish fraud, but still. You’ve done well for yourself, as victimhood goes.

@loganzuber17 I know some vendors who do. They sell copycat packages to builders at slight discounts over name brands. The quality I’ve experienced looks good on day 1 but tends to fail catastrophically under daily use, doorknobs and faucets especially.
