I still haven't figured out what the cause but I suspect it an increase in arachidonic acid since the only change in my diet has been the drastic increase in animal fats. I'm thinking of doing a low animal fat atkins program to see if it helps.

Actually arachdonic acid isn't as big a danger as originally thought--I posed this question to Dr. Michael Eades a couple of years ago since he'd mentioned it in the original "Protein Power" and he said that further research showed that it wasn't that big a deal. Just FYI. |
