I am revisiting the issue of PUFA's.

In a recent self experiment I found that by consuming a fair amount of 
unrefined fresh omega 6 and 3 in a 3:1 ratio that my appetite and cravings 
for food was drastically reduced. As I am not as lean as I would like to be 
this is a good thing.

However I am still confused by the pro and anti PUFA's arguments out there. 
Both sides cite numerous studies to support their position yet they seem 
diametrically opposed in so many areas such as: PUFA's help diabetes from 
PUFA proponants.PUFA's worsen diabetes from PUFA opponants.They protect 
against cancer versus they worsen cancer and so on and so on.

I'm not good at analysing research myself and so remain confused and worried 
that by suppressing my appetite and all the other supposed benifits may at 
the cost of  doing oxidative damage to my cells.

I can't imagine that consuming large ammounts of seed oils is paleo but nor 
can I ignore potential benifits.

What are the thoughts on PUFA's and their relative safety from others on 
this list?
