The tide is turning in the public understanding that there are
essential fats (
essential fatty acids or
EFA). For way too long now we’ve heard in the major media that fats are bad and they cause cancer, weight gain and heart attacks. There is a constant stream of information that advocates a low fat diet and consuming Omega 3 fatty acids. There is some truth to this but it certainly is not the complete story. The whole truth is that some fats are important and we must eat them to maintain our health and the function of our organs, which is why such fats are called “essential” fats. A deficiency of essential fats may lead to:

> Hormonal problems
> Skin problems (eczema, psoriasis, dryness)
> Dandruff
> Nervous system problems
> Respiratory problems
> Mental/brain/emotional problems (irritability, etc.)
> Inability to handle stress
> Chronic fatigue
> Glandular problems
> Vision problems
