Fatty Acid Deficiencies
Memory loss - cancer - high blood pressure - some psoriasis - high triglycerides & LDL, low HDL - help balance healthful fats - ADD & ADHD - inability to lose weight - liver problems - heart disease - dry skin - abnormal growth
You've probably heard of lecithin & omega 3's {fish oil} but don't realize the importance of them.
All cell membranes are largely composed of fats & you need to replenish your cells with both kinds of EFA's - essential fatty acids - daily.
Lecithin, the "memory fat," is the pre-cursor for acetyl choline which is a neuron transmitter. It transports electrical impulses & helps detoxify the body.
Throw some lecithin capsules in a pan of spaghetti sauce & see the grease from meat dissolve! It works the same way in your body.
Omega 3's do the same things but in different ways. If you can only take one kind the Omega 3's are most important!
Lipids make hormones - provide & store energy - cover the nerve cells - absorb vitamins that are dissolved in fat - insulate & pad internal organs - improve the health of the heart, blood, brain, nerves, & growth & development - help keep arteries & skin young - break down cholesterol - help keep skin moist - transport neurons

Trans fatty acids are unsaturated fats that have been manipulated & degraded from their health benefits by adding hydrogen to increase shelf life. Hydrogenation converts liquid fat to a solid. This makes the melting point much higher & causes plaque build-up in the brain, arteries, organs, & heart.
These fats also cross the blood brain barrier & cause brain cells to become hard & unresponsive. Heavy metals will do that too.
The good news is you can displace these bad fats with lecithin and omega 3's. Some fat-soluble vitamins & co-factors that are essential are Vitamin E & CoEnzyme Q10 {most active tissues like the heart need this since it creates energy for cell functions}.

The website below tells how traditional meats, eggs, butter, & home-made lard {not that white shortening from the grocery store, and not refined corn & vegetable oils} had been eaten before the 20th century.
Myocardial infarctions were almost non-existant in 1910. The problem with cholesterol is when it becomes oxidized. That leads to inflammation & tearing of arteries. The body makes cholesterol to patch the holes. This process also calls for foam cells.
Expeller-pressed oils that are certified organic & not refined, are nutrient-rich. Refined oils are created by {usually} chemical extraction & throwing out the most beneficial nutrients. High heat also destroys health benefits.
One of the worst things about refined oils is the over-abundance of Omega 6's. A natural balance of Omega 3's and 6's are shown to keep the heart, brain, arteries, thinking & mood in balance.
Today the ratio is as high as 20:1 where 20 is omega 6's. In nature the balance is naturally at least 1:1 or 2:1.
Store-bought eggs can have 20:1 omega 6's to 3's. Bad for the chickens, bad for our health. True free-roaming chickens give very healthy eggs & tasty meat. That includes all free-range meat.
