    Die Art der Fette, die wir konsumieren, hat direkten Einfluss auf das Überleben und die Stärke der körpereigenen Immunzellen sowie auf die Fähigkeit, Krankheiten zu bekämpfen: Eine Ernährung mit einem geringeren Verhältnis von mehrfach ungesättigten Fettsäuren zu einfach ungesättigten Fettsäuren macht T-Zellen viel widerstandsfähiger und resistenter gegen den Zelltod

      So more monunsaturated fats compared to polyunsaturated fats you’re taking in are better but the ratio isn’t known? Raises the question if there’s a point where this does not hold true. Are there any more details on the ratios they observed?

      „Lower ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids“ is a really unwieldy way to say „prefer eating foods with more monounsaturated than polyunsaturated fatty acids“.

      This isn’t spelled out even in the article and I guess that if you’d ask ten unsuspecting people what „lower ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids“ actually means nine of them couldn’t tell. And I’m even not fully sure I got it right…

      a) PUFA 8, MUFA 2 = 8:2 = 4

      b) PUFA 2, MUFA 8 = 2:8 = 0.25

      Ratio in b) is lower, so eat more MUFA’s (like olive oil and avocadoes) than PUFA’s. Yep.

      Also this does NOT mean to avoid polyunsaturated fatty acids and eat stuff with saturated fatty acids instead…
