Thanks for the thanks.

re your comment

"The comments regarding the fact that oxidative process also exist in tumour cells is disturbing."

An alternative viewpoint would be that it leaves the door open to cell death by reactive oxygen species, bi products of cellular oxidation. I have seen suggestions DHA is key to oxidation effective oxidation and may assist in dysfunctional cell death. DHA also features in membranes and I have just read suggestions it is key to the functioning of lipid rafts, which are apparently key to membrane function.

So if DHA CoQ10 etc improve mitochondrial function through a number of mechanisms could they be an important factor in normalisation of cell function.

I see only ghosts of images but sorting out lipid levels and intakes would seem like a reasonable insurance strategy give the potential upsides.

This was thought provoking if you have not seen it.

Much is unknown and I know very very much less so please all discuss dietary changes with your doctor.
