whoops sorry

I think the comments re: omega 6 fatty acids as well short chain

omega-3's such as flax oil are particularly germane

 

if the above is too confusing, here it is in a nutshell:

 

•for cooking: use butter/ghee, coconut, olive or sesame ONLY, at low to

medium temperatures

•avoid all seed/grain oils: canola, sunflower, safflower, peanut, corn,

flax, hemp

•avoid transfats: hydrogenated oils, margarine, blackened meat,

deep-fried fats

•supplement with omega 3s: salmon, sardine, anchovy etc.; best

vegetarian omega 3 source is perilla oil, but in reality, animal source

remains the best as only these contain docosahexanoic acid (DHA);

dosage ranges are between 5-10 g daily (= to 1000-2500 mg EPA/DHA each

daily)

•eat grass fed, free range or wild meat, poultry and fish ONLY

 

all of the above is ESPECIALLY key in childhood nutrition, especially

DHA, to ensure proper brain/nervous system development

Now we are having interesting discussion about essential fatty acids.

This is modern knowledge that was not known in ancient times. When you

are living on vegetarian diet and cooking your food mainly with ghee,

maybe you do actually get suggested amount of these fatty acids

automatically. Best proof for this is that people have managed to stay

healthy even without knowing about omega 3's, 6's, EPA's and DHA's.

 

In ghee (from grass-fed cows) you will get your dose of omega 3 and good

source for omega 6 are nuts or oil made of those. Thus your intake of

these fatty acids is stabile, even though maybe less than modern

researchers suggest.

 

why seed/nut oils should be avoided? Sunflower oil? Rapeseed oil?
