Research Exposed: Biospark Scientists Demolish Omega-3 Myth with 48 Minutes of Hardcore Biochemistry
Sarah Chen (metabolic biochemistry) and Marcus Thompson (evolutionary biology) go where mainstream medicine fears to tread in this research-heavy companion to Episode 11. Armed with Ray Peat's original research calling fish oil "anti-metabolic poison," Jay Feldman's work on the Randle cycle, and shocking data from major trials (DART-2, SELECT, ORIGIN, ASCEND), they systematically destroy every pro-omega-3 argument. You'll learn: Why the CPT1A gene mutation in Arctic populations proves evolution selected AGAINST omega-3 metabolism; How fish oil creates reductive stress linked to cancer metabolism (2022 research); The 4-year tissue accumulation timeline that means you're still toxic years after stopping; Why vitamin E depletion from fish oil creates a vicious oxidative cycle; How the Inuit "paradox" (43-year lifespan) actually proves omega-3 toxicity; The immunosuppression mechanism disguised as "anti-inflammation"; Why even nitrogen-flushed, pharmaceutical-grade fish oil oxidizes instantly at body temperature. This is graduate-level biochemistry made accessible - the conversation that should be happening in every medical school but isn't because of industry influence. Essential listening for practitioners, researchers, and anyone who wants to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the greatest supplement fraud in history.
