This is good too: http://www.morphostasis.org.uk/Papers/Evolving.htm

However, dietary PUFAs are very potent immunosuppressants, and so
avoiding them key.

I liked this bit particularly: " The cell relies on its lipid bilayer

isolate the cytoplasm both electrically and metabolically from its
surroundings."

Have you decided bilayers do exist now?
