Because it has been shown, repeatedly, that at the time mead acid is built
in the body (which only happens in case of w3/w6 deficiency) a lot of very
bad things start to happen.

Tell me a single food that contains large ammounts of mead acid please.

And if there is none: why is that so?
If mead acid is so much better than w3 / w6 fatty acids there should have
been a selection against animals that consume w3 / w6 fatty acids towards
animals that build only their own mead acid during evolution.
This does not seem to be the case.

(its NF-kB; and the "genetic machinery" is hopefully *always* turned on..
otherwise we would be dead very soon- protein synthesis, cell cycle,
metabolism.. they all depend on the "genetic machinery")

The bad properties of saturated fats have, in contrast to your theory, not
ever been asociated with any kind of free radical damage- but if you have
literature that indicates otherwise please be kind enough to post a
citation.
