The Essential Fats are a group of fatty acids that are
essential
to human health. There are two types, the omega-3 (w3) and
omega-6 (w6) families. The essential fats are made from the
essential fatty acids (EFAs) linoleic and linolenic acid.

Fats that heal and fats that kill: |
|
|
Commentary and opinions about scientific nutrition, healthy foods, diagnosis of fatty acid abnormalities, treatment using fat mixtures, and more! We emphasize balanced nutrition aimed to achieve ideal weight and optimal levels of EFs. |
||

We propose that abnormal levels of EFs disturb
cell membrane fluidity and hormone function, and thus aggravate many diseases
of western societies. We explain how to use our findings to prolong life. We
lead and educate doctors with our discoveries. We provide the results that
others use to write about fat and design new foods. We introduce key concepts
about fats. We created new methods to diagnose and correct fat
abnormalities, discovered the missing link between heart disease and EFAs,
and identified similarities and differences between disorders due to fat
malabsorption and those due to excessive fat intake. We coined the words
Essential Fats, Essential Fatty Acid Insufficiency, Relative EFA Deficiency,
Relative EFA Insufficiency, and parents, daughters and derivatives of EFAs
(DEFAs). We created a new highly sensitive test to measure
EFA deficiency and found that w6 and w3 deficiencies, rather than being rare
conditions, are some of the most prevalent nutrition abnormalities in the USA
(based on our blood analysis of subjects from the famous Framingham Heart
Study). Now many nutritionists recommend oil supplements (flax, etc). We showed why low fat diets can be harmful. Who is
likely to be hurt (slim people, pregnant women, people who are not losing
weight, and others). Now almost everybody, even the American Heart
Association, warns about these issues. We explained how trans
fatty acids are harmful. Now researchers warn about dangers of hydrogenated
oils, and foods like margarine are being redesigned. We report news from an insider's perspective,
based on our biochemical research and private conversations with leading
scientists. We describe differences between what others say and what recent
(often unpublished) research has shown. We explain how to select and use
vegetable and fish oils and other foods. This site is for health professionals, doctors,
nutritionists, researchers, reporters, individuals who use PUFA-rich foods or
supplements (fish oils, GLA, DHA, etc.), patients with genetic lipid
disorders (special diets + drugs), IBD and SBS (elemental foods, therapies),
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, neurological or neuromuscular
disorders, epilepsy, prostate or breast cancer, pregnant women and nursing
mothers who want to have smart and healthy babies, individuals who want to
lose weight, athletes, people wishing to look, feel and be physiologically
younger, and anyone wanting to eat an optimal diet. We suggest new options.
You must be prepared to invest time & money in yourself to decide. We
give you opportunities; you take the responsibility to use them. |
