The Essential |  |
| These pages to a lesser degree include the importance of all 50 essential
elements required for good health, and to a greater degree emphasizes two
of them: the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Those of us who live in North
America have learned a great deal about the other 48 elements and the diligent
among us are getting them into our nutrition program. But the two essential
fatty acids, Linoleic Acid (LA) and Alpha Linolenic Acid (LNA), have been largely ignored by the food, food supplement, and vitamin companies, and are just now beginning to come into their own. As important as the vitamins and minerals, our health, and even life itself hinges on getting these two fats. LNA, especially, is low in the North American diet and is a contributer to the increasing rate of nutritional deficiency illnesses among North Americans.
What are Essential Fatty Acids, anyway? You've heard of white flour and white sugar, but white oil! Hydrogenation and margarine.

Interestingly enough, the essential fatty acids are two of the most important of all the essential elements, ranking right up there with protein, as protein and the EFAs work hand-in-hand with each other. Much of the information found on these Web Pages comes from Udo Erasmus' book, Fats that Heal Fats that Kill. His book has taught me great things. Indeed, Mr. Erasmus is largely responsible for North America's increased awareness of Essential Fatty Acids and is one of the recognized authorities on the subject.
