I have no proof but based on the theory I would expect raw fat,if that's
what the body needs, would replace stored up toxic substances that are in
neurons as a result of previous cooked fats, etc. and would therefore aid
in the detox process, so that, initially, symptoms that represent the
release of emotions might increase. Unless the emotions are appropriately
directed they might be vicariously dirceted, e.g. anger at the wrong
person. When I see someone cursing out the wrong person, I think to myelf
'wrong neurons!' ie, the wrong neurons are getting detoxed. Raw fat would
naturally supply the usual fat based metabolites needed and if the
neurons are not in a detox mode, they wouldn't have any effect on
emotions. Just my opinion. I'd like to see some research come out of this
toxic mind theory. I had clear symptoms of Alzheimer's disease only 5-6
years ago, and I believe good nutrition along with therapy for the
release of emotions has strengthened my short term memory.

My best, Ellie
