EFA's
- The Healing Fats: There are 50 essential nutrients that our
body cannot make, but must derive from food. Two of these, called
essential fatty acids, (EFAs) come from fats and oils. One is alpha-linolenic
acid (omega 3); the other is linoleic acid (omega 6). Both are easily
destroyed by light, air, and heat. This is why they become toxic when
fried. EFAs are major nutrients. We need them in tablespoon, not milligram,
amounts each day.
Because EFAs lift depression and elevate mood, many depressed people
would benefit by improving intake and balance of EFAs. Schizophrenics
hallucinate less when EFA intake improves. EFAs ought to be key nutrients
used to treat mental conditions. Dramatic improvements have sometimes
been recorded in Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia. Parkinson's,
Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), and multiple sclerosis also respond positively
to improved EFA intake, but may require additional interventions,
especially protease enzymes, greens, and anti-oxidants.
Where to purchase Udo's Oil:
- iHerb.com.
Lists all of Udo's Oil products. I generally purchase Udo's
Oil 3·6·9 Blend, 8.5 fl oz (250 ml) even if I
have to buy two bottles, since larger quantities tend to go rancid
quicker. (You will notice it in the increasing bitter taste as it
goes rancid.) I know the smaller quantity bottles are more expensive.
If you intend to consume larger quantities or have several family
members consuming it all at the same time, then go for the larger
bottles.
