COX2 and BC a cumulative knowledge thread

In my web wanders through the world of fats I keep finding articles linking COX2 expression to BC. The exclusive raw materials for the COX2 production line are members of the omega six and three families AA and EPA respectively.

To save clogging up the Greek Diet thread with technical information I will post the COX2 related items I find to this thread to keep them in one place.

At the most basic level all you need to understand is that Omega six and three compete for the COX2 production line. The COX2 production line has a limited capacity.

Like any production line you can limit what comes out the other end by limiting the amount that is put in.

Limit omega six intake and balance it with omega three and you will limit the production of Omega Six Cox 2 products.

Omega six COX2 products directly connect to aromatase which connects to oestrogen production. COX 2 also connects into immune systems etc.

Here is the first
