    mose11. Very important question since this is one of the problems faced by those following a vegan diet. If your seeds are raw or preferably sprouted and taste fresh, they are likely to have a great balance of antioxidants that do protect the PUFAs. But you also need to have a good amount of long chain saturated fats like those that come from butter/cream and bacon in your diet as well.

    The best way to know if you what you are doing is balanced is to get some blood testing done including advanced lipid testing like a VAP profile and have it analyzed by a practitioner who can tell you what the term "lipid oxidation" means and why it matters to your risk of heart disease.

    Nathalie,

    The change in fat cell type was observed in humans after plastic surgeons implanted fat cells as part of facial cosmetic surgery (in the nasolabial area) and the fat cells atrophied and became identical to fibroblasts, which are the types of cells that support skin collagen. We discuss this and other changes in Chapter 10 of Deep Nutrition if you are interested.

      @dr cate. so i know getting polyunsaturated fats from nuts and seeds in clearly preferable than getting it from vegetable oil expecially after its been.. how much polyunsaturated fat is too much per day? i get alot from sunflower seeds i eat everyday, but am i getting to much since it is an unstable fat and could oxidize in my body?

    Hi Ben . Fantastic podcast. The idea that fat cells can die or turn into another type of cell, has it been tested on humans as well? Or is it an assmption taking into the count that it was conclusive on animals ?

    Great interview Ben. One of the take always for me is you need heathy nutrient supported cells. Next question. What is the best way to ensure this? Reading through Deep Nutrition now. Not to chapter 8 yet.

    1. Finish the book – Dr. Cate tells you.
