PPARA, PPARG, FADS1/2, and NRF2 variants all interact with dietary fat quality and oxidative stress management — the core of Shanahan's argument. Even if the strongest claims are contested, the practical recommendations (replacing seed oils with stable fats) align with several genomic variant recommendations.
A family physician argues that industrial seed oils — not sugar or saturated fat — are the primary hidden driver of modern chronic disease, proposing that oxidative damage from unstable polyunsaturated fats causes cellular and metabolic harm at scale.
One of the most prominent voices in the "seed oils are the problem" nutrition movement.
These peer-reviewed studies connect to the core ideas in this book. Each result has been scored for reliability.
The most accessible book specifically on MTHFR and the methylation cycle. Covers folate forms, homocysteine, and the B vitamin cofactors your body needs when the MTHFR enzyme runs at reduced efficiency.
Dr. Panda leads one of the world's top labs on time-restricted eating and circadian biology. His research on meal timing and metabolic health maps directly to what peer-reviewed studies have found for MTNR1B GG carriers — making when you eat as important as what you eat.
Covers the research on how specific nutrients — omega-3s, B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins — affect brain and metabolic function. Directly relevant to FADS1 and BCMO1 variant research on nutrient conversion efficiency.
