This was interesting

"The researches used the imaging and cell-counting tools to document that linoleic acid, which is predominant in polyunsaturated fats, caused increasing membrane phase separation, whereas oleic acid, found in monounsaturated fats, did not."

At the risk of taking R.B.'s job, this would indicate that linoleic acid, an Omega 6, might be quite bad.

Interesting about oleic, too, given Menendez's work on fatty acids which suggests that oleic acid might be beneficial against her-2 breast cancer and herceptin-sensitizing.
