From the Back Cover
The right balance of fats in our diet is important for good health, long life, and glowing skin and hair. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are found in seed oils, certain types of fish, and other foods. Jeannette Ewin explains why EFAs are vital parts of every cell in the human body, and how they work to repair tissues, maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels, and fight degenerative illnesses.
· Omega-3 and omega 6-EFAs – the difference between fish oil and evening primrose oil
· Why children need EFAs to thrive – the 'secret' ingredient in mother's milk
· The link between EFAs and heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and PMS
· The link between EFAs and antioxidants, including vitamins E and C
· Dieting advice: the danger in low-fat diets
· Charts listing natural foods rich in EFAs and antioxidants
Jeannette Ewin Ph.D is a medical journalist who understands the link between good food and good health. Trained in human biology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Dr Ewin's early research at the Harvard School of Public Health convinced her of the importance of essential fatty acids.
"After being neglected for many years, essential fatty acids are now at the forefront of many research programmes which have indicated that they play a fundamental role in preventing a wide range of diseases from heart disease to arthritis to cancer. In an exceptionally accurate and clear way this book makes this research accessible to the general reader."
DR DAVID HORROBIN
