Guest guest Posted December 2, 2001 Report Share Posted December 2, 2001 Reduce and eliminate your Cancer or Heart Attack Risks. Although Cholesterol has long been blamed for heart disease, high cholesterol can actually be a symptom of EFA deficiency. The body, when trying to make cell membranes out of " stiff " Transfatty Acids, simply collects cholesterol and deposits it within the arteries to try and soften the cell membranes and make them more flexible!

Ididn't know that cholesterol could also make membranes more flexible -- interesting. Do you have reference for this so I could read up on this more?

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Hi Liz! Actually, that portion of text was taken from a pamphlet sent to me by Spectrum oils right after I contacted them about my heart problems earlier. Practically all of the information I've posted on here has been taken from their archives. There's a wealth of information at their site. The site is located at: http://www.spectrumnaturals.com I believe that's it!!? If not email me. Thanks!
