In 1948, rats were fed a

that it was a B vitamin deficiency instead, since they did not know
about that B vitamin at the time). However, the 1930 is still being
cited, whereas the 1948 is not. Do you know why?

Probably because instead of being published in a peer-reviewed
scientific journal it was published in an obscure "book of the year"
publication.

In fact, if
anything, rats would need more "essential fatty acids" than humans,

Why? In molecular level detail, please.
