ESSNTIAL FATTY ACIDS
Our body creates body fat from food, sugars, proteins, or fats. But there are two fats it cannot make. Linoleic acid (Omega 6) & alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3) and these are called Essential Fatty Accids (EFA). They must be obtained from our food.

How Deficiency in EFA Damages Health
Deficiency in EFA leads to abnormal lipid levels & atheroscleroris because EFA help to regulate the levels of saturated fatty acids in the body. EFA deficiency has also been linked to aczema, psoriasis, hair loss, reduced immune function, behavioural difficulties, poor healing, micarruages, circulatory disorders, growth retardation in children, muscle weakness, impairment of vision, impaired learning abilities, spread of rhuematic and arthritic disorders, deteriorating motor condition, and glandular atrophy, which in turn leads to infertility and weight disorders.

The Impact of Today's Food Degradation & Processing
Since the 1850's, because of food degradation and processing, the amount of intact Omega 3 fatty acids in our diet has declined to a chronically low level. On the contrary, in the modern diet, there is an Omega 6 overdose due to the inclusion of excessive amounts of "vegetable oils" such as corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, virgin olive oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, and soya bean oil, plus margarine and shortenings, in the preparation of all foods.

The ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids in our diet has increased to about 20:1, a very unhealthy situation. The Omega 6 overdose coupled with Omega 3 deficiency leads to multi-organs involvement resulting in chronic inflammation & destruction of small arteries (micro vasculitis) of the heart, brain, gut, kidneys, eyes (retinopathy, cataracts), nerve trunks, and the whole body (accelerated-aging). The widespread inflammations of the small arteries in the body together with calorie overdose are directly linked to insulin-resistance syndrome. The above phenomena are commonly known as Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X that involves multi organs diseases.
