Why are we deficient?
Trans-fats, or hydrogenated man-made fats, were made originally to extend shelf life of commercial products. However, the production of these trans-fatty acids for human consumption is the most devastating nutritional mistake every made! In the effect to make foods last longer in the supermarket, all trances of EFAs (such as Omega 3s) are obliterated from processed foods, and partially hydrogenated oils take there place.
The absence of Omega 3 essential fatty acids in western diets has contributed to an alarming increase in the number of diseases that appeared only infrequently 100 years ago. A lack of EFAs and co-factors (such as minerals and vitamins) to handle fat, along with the consumption of trans-fats, is more often the cause of obesity and cardiovascular disease than is eating cholesterol-rich foods.
Your body needs fats, like protein, fats (lipids) are building blocks of the body's essential structures. The membranes of every cell is a thin envelope of fat that encases and protects the internal biochemical components.
The brain, it's important to know, is 60% lipids. Perhaps you can begin to sense the kind of trouble likely to result when there is a disturbance in, or deficiency of the right kind of fats in the body.
