NAFLD model based on fish oil

Just briefly, another post on NAFLD, in frivolity:

"We fed a highly unsaturated fat diet (30% fish oil) to female Sprague-Dawley rats (180-200g), consumed ad libitum for 8 weeks"

"We propose that female rats fed with a diet containing highly unsaturated fatty acids are an extremely useful model for the study of NAFLD"

I propose this is bullsh*t.

If you are on 3000kcal/d and are going to drink 100ml/day of fish oil as 30% of those calories, PLEASE do not make up the rest of your non protein calories from dextrose. I warned you.

Also, if you think this in any way represent the human NAFLD which is rampant in the developed world, please desist from this idiotic idea and send your funding money to me, preferably in used fivers. And go clean that toilet.
