So our fat tissues with age become more and more concentrated with a relatively pure polyunsaturated store of fat. And under stress, the fat is released and especially the polyunsaturated which is more accessible to the stress activation. So with age, stress becomes more harmful because you've stored up more of the polyunsaturated fats. So since we can make all of the saturated fats, palm, palmitate, stearate, and we can desaturate stearic acid to make oleic acid and our own series of polyunsaturates, I think it's best to get as much sugar and starch in your diet, preferably sugars from fruit and milk, and minimize the exposure to the unstable N-6 and N-3 fatty acids.
