By limiting ingestion .. ?
Allowing the body .. over time .. to replace that fatty acid WITH the
fatty acid IT 'chooses' .. ?
As in the study which showed a difference in the fatty acid content of
vegetarians versus lacto-ovo vegetarians and meat eaters.
If one were to ingest a balanced proportion OF the essential fatty
acids needed then the body over time would simply balance ITSELF .. ?
Studies seem to be leaning towards the fact if one ingests the
essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid seems to allow for the
conversion to the fatty acids required.
If you look below the difference in the vegetable oils may involve the
choline in the oils as that 'link' between violent behavior .. ?
Lithium .. ?
Bi-polar .. ?

The use of phosphatidylcholine may result in significant improvement
or amelioration of symptoms in some patients suffering from bipolar
depression by increasing brain choline levels. Some researchers
believe that one effect of Lithium carbonate, the standard
pharmaceutical treatment for bipolar depression, is the promotion of
increased acetylcholine activity in the brain.

THE CHOLINE CONTENT OF ANIMAL
AND PLANT PRODUCTS1
B, W. ENGEL
Laboratory of Animal Nutrition, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn
(Received for publication November 20, 1942)
Refined vegetable oils are practically devoid of choline.
In general, these seed meals and the seeds are considerably
better sources of choline than the cereal grains.
The data support the earlier suggestion that seeds which are
low in protein contain less phospholipids than seeds which are
relatively high in protein.
Green leafy vegetables and vegetable legumes are similarly
better sources of choline than the grain seeds or vegetable
root crops.
A comparison of plant and animal materials on the dry basis
indicates that green leafy vegetables, vegetable legumes, and
seed oil meals are equivalent to muscular tissue as sources of
choline.
Animal organs are considerably better sources than any of the
plant materials that were examined.
SUMMARY
Choline analyses were conducted on a number of plant and
animal materials. Animal organs, egg yolk, and nervous tissue
were found to be considerably better sources of choline than
any of the plant material examined.
Green leafy plant material compared favorably with muscle tissue.
Good sources of choline in the plant material were found to be green
leafy and leguminous vegetables, seed oil meals and grain germs.
Seed oil meals were found to be equal or superior to the whole
seeds as sources of choline.
Skim milk powder contained nearly a third more choline than whole
milk powder.

I was researching fatty acids to include or exclude in a diet for melanoma
and came across this very interesting site:http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2008/09/vegetable-oil-and-homic...
l
The original research paper is from 2004 so it's old news.http://www.ncbi..nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15736917
Can anyone suggest how to eliminate linoleic acid from the body fat reserves
and a regime to exclude it from the diet?
(NOTE: There are 3 references to 3 graphs that will not appear on this post.
The cited graphs demonstrate a direct proportionality between linoleic acid
consumption and homicide rates in 5 countries, the USA and UK.)
Vegetable Oil and Homicide
One of the major dietary changes that has accompanied the downward slide of
American health is the replacement of animal fats with industrially
processed vegetable oils. Soybean oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil and other
industrial creations have replaced milk and meat fat in our diet, while
total fat consumption has remained relatively constant. The result is that
we're eating a lot more polyunsaturated fat than we were just 30 years ago,
most of it linoleic acid (omega-6). Corn oil may taste so bad it inspires
you to violence, but its insidiousness goes beyond the flavor. Take a look:
This figure is from a paper that Dr. Joe Hibbeln sent me recently, of which
he is the first author. This followed an interesting e-mail conversation
with Robert Brown, author of Omega Six: the Devil's Fat. He put me in touch
with Dr. Hibbeln and Dr. William Lands (NIH, NIAAA), both of whom warn of
the dangers of excessive linoleic acid consumption from modern vegetable
oils. Dr. Lands has been researching the relationship between dietary fat
and inflammation since the 1970s, and has been a critic of modern vegetable
oils for just as long. Both Dr. Hibbeln and Dr. Lands were very generous in
sending me a number of their papers. The figure above shows the homicide
rate vs. linoleic acid consumption of five countries over the course of 40
years. Each point represents one year in one country. The U.S. has the
distinction of being in the upper right.
I asked Dr. Hibbeln how he selected the five countries, and he told me the
selection criteria were 1) available homicide and linoleic acid consumption
statistics, 2) "first world" countries, and 3) countries representing a
diversity of linoleic acid intakes. I'm satisfied that there was probably
not a significant selection bias.
What's interesting about the graph is that not only does the homicide rate
track with linoleic acid consumption across countries, but it also tracks
within countries over time. For example, here is the same graph of the US
alone:
And here is the UK, which doesn't suffer as much from the confounding factor
of firearm availability:
Epidemiological associations don't get much better than that. In the next
few posts, I'll explore the data from intervention trials that support the
hypothesis that excessive omega-6 consumption, and insufficient omega-3
consumption, cause serious problems for psychiatric and physical health.
