tl;dr: A diet high in omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids has some positive effects on the body, but also results in progressive liver failure.
Sentence of the century: "However they also manage to demonstrate, in the process, that some of the often-touted benefits of higher-PUFA diets are in fact parts of the pathological process". I wonder how many pharma drugs this applies to. If we think we can beat evolutionary optimization we are not thinking holistically.
If you enjoy wine (as I do), you basically prevent any liver damage at all as long as you avoid PUFA. I cannot find the original study on this but it exists. I have religiously avoided PUFA now for at least seven years. It was a great decision.

If not the century, this qualifies for sentence of the month, at least.
