FATS called ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS are CRITICAL to GOOD HEALTH!! ESSENTIAL FATTY

acids ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN VITAMINS!! BUT....... ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

ARE DESTROYED DURING THE PROCESSING OF OUR FOOD!! FATS ARE basically...

DIFFERENT FATTY ACIDS. SATURATED FATTY ACIDS ...ARE SOLID even at room

temperature because they are STRAIGHT MOLECULES. MONOUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS

....such as... OLIVE OIL have one kink... or bend. They form FOODS that are

LIQUID at room temperature, but SOLID... in the refrigerator. POLYUNSATURATED

FATTY ACIDS... or PUFAS, have two or more links. This... makes them " LIQUID "

even when refrigerated. ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS ARE PUFAS--- THESE ARE THE FATS

ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH. NO OTHER FATS are REQUIRED for GOOD health. IF YOUR DIET IS

LOW IN EFAS...IT CAN CAUSE YOU TO !!CONSUME!! " EXTRA " CALORIES BECAUSE THE BODY

DOESN't GET THE " RIGHT " NUTRIENTS without EFAS... IT CONTINUES TO SEND THE

" HUNGER " SIGNAL!!! ALL THE EXTRA CALORIES TAKEN IN CONTRIBUTE TO WEIGHT GAIN

from EXCESS " SATURATED " FAT storage!! FUNCTIONS OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS: ALL

YOUR CELLS AND VITAL ORGANS NEED ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS TO WORK WELL. PUFAS ARE

USED... FOR... ENERGY!! ALSO THEY ARE NEEDED TO MAKE CELL MEMBRANES. The

quality... and type... of many HORMONES produced by the body depend on the

AMOUNTS of EFAs in the blood. How many times have you heard it said... YOU ARE

WHAT YOU EAT!! It's True!! If you eat... foods high in saturated and

hydrogenated fat...the majority of the fat in your body will be solid; your

arteries... will become hard, and you will develop HYPERTENSION or HIGH blood

pressure. If you eat foods high in PUFAs, or Essential Fatty Acids, your

ARTERIES... will remain SOFT and the blood is less likely to obstruct arteries

with clots or cause a stroke or a heart attack. THE KINKS... IN MONOUNSATURATED

AND POLYUNSATURATED OILS CAN BE CHANGED... FROM THEIR NATURAL FORM... by...

COOKING, PROCESSING AND HYDROGENATION!! HYDROGENATION IS A PROCESS THAT CHANGES

LIQUID OIL INTO... AN UNNATURAL SOLID FORM!!! THE ALTERED SHAPE IS KNOWN AS A

TRANS FATTY ACID OR... TFA. Trans Fatty Acids ARE IDENTICAL TO THE STRAIGHT,

SATURATED MOLECULES WHICH MAKE UP SOLID FATS. IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING

ELSE HERE... REMEMBER THIS!!! TRANSFATTY ACIDS INTERFERE WITH THE PROPER

CONSTRUCTION OF OUR BODY'S CELL WALLS! WAIT A MINUTE!! Did you know that...

CANCER CELLS ARE nothing more... than ABNORMAL CELLS??? GET THE PICTURE? I DO!!

TRANSFATTY ACIDS (i.e. Hydrogenated fats) HAVE NO KNOWN DESIRABLE FUNCTION,

INCREASE the RISK of HEART DISEASE, and may INTERFERE WITH ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID

ACTIVITY!!! PEOPLE WHO EAT HYDROGENATED OILS ACCUMULATE TRANSFATTY ACIDS in

their blood! Although CHOLESTEROL- has long been blamed for heart disease, HIGH

CHOLESTEROL levels can actually be a SYMPTOM of EFA DEFICIENCY. Since the BODY

is trying to MAKE CELL MEMBRANES OUT OF " STIFF " SATURATED, monounsaturated, AND

TRANSFATTY ACIDS, IT SIMPLY COLLECTS THE CHOLESTEROL within the arteries TO TRY

AND SOFTEN THE CELL MEMBRANES and make them more flexible. IF LEVELS OF...

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS ARE RAISED by the proper dietary changes... CHOLESTEROL

LEVELS OFTEN DECREASE!! AS MEMBRANES BECOME MORE " FLUID " ! ANY DIET THAT IS LOW

IN... ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS Increases YOUR RISK of... CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE,

HORMONE ABNORMALITIES and... DECREASED BRAIN FUNCTION!! Eat foods with EFAs,

take Fish or Flax oil capsules for proper EFA supplementation. Black Currant and

Borage oil is also good. IF YOU WANT TO REDUCE your chances OF BECOMING

DEFICIENT IN EFAs, YOU SHOULD EAT LARGE QUANTITIES OF... " RAW " NATURAL FOODS in

their... " UNPROCESSED " STATE!! These foods are high in cell membranes, which

contain plenty of EFAs along with the appropriate antioxidants. We have been

lulled into complacency! Since the FDA is is forced to make hasty decisions from

lobbyist groups, adequate testing doesn't exist, AND THE SAFETY OF our food and

DRINK CANNOT BE RELIED ON!! New information is coming out all the time and it is

NOW KNOWN that some of the FOODS we nonchalantly EAT everyday ARE DIRECTLY

LINKED to CANCER!! In the Middle East, China and among other ethnic groups

CANCER is virtually UNHEARD of!! Water is one of the basic necessities of life.

You know that! But did you know hundreds of illnesses are caused by dehydration?

Dehydrated cells are useless!! Their functionality is compromised!! Dehydration

is frequently caused by the consumption of dehydrating liquids such as Pop,

Cappucino and Coffee, which rather than supplying adequate fluids trigger

cellular dehydration!! Eight glasses of bottled water aids your body in detox

and provides your cells and arteries with adequate fluids for healthy

function.JoAnn Guest joguest
