Very interesting video on pentadecanoic acid, aka fatty 15. I haven't yet read the scientific papers, so I haven't formed an opinion of how likely it is that this supplement will live up to what is being claimed.

If the claims are true, they could answer some longstanding questions/seeming contradictions regarding the effects of low-fat vs high-fat diary consumption, for instance the 'ice cream effect' and Parkinson's disease risk/progression.

I'm seriously considering trying it. Usually I'm a late adopter - but this one is really intriguing. I will read some papers first, though.

I have questions re: membrane stability (I thought we needed more fluid membranes) and also re: the effects of warming oceans on FA production.
