The Fats We Need to Eat

The Importance of EFAs

Eating fat is healthy? The idea that fat could be important to human health may seem hard to believe. The fact is that fat is vital to every cell, tissue and organ. Essential fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body and must be absorbed in our diet. Essential fatty acids allow other molecules to enter and exit the billions of cells that comprise human tissue. This molecular stream takes working material to a cell's genetic fiber for replication of chromosomes. It provides nourishment for cells to repair themselves and building blocks for making proteins and other substances the bloodstream must carry elsewhere in the body. This molecular flow, screened by rich essential fatty acids configurations within cell membranes, allows waste materials to pass from the cell for disposal.

Essential fatty acids are grouped in two main families: the Omega-6 family (found in evening primrose oil) which provides Linoleic Acid (LA), and the Omega-3 family (found in marine fish oils) which provides Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Both are important in helping maintain people's health.

In the past, there has been much discussion about "miracle" molecules such as DNA and proteins. Today, however, medical research is demonstrating that essential fatty acids manage many of the functions attributed to DNA and protein sources. By grasping how essential fatty acids perform in the body, scientists have paved the way for a new generation of promising products.

The Power of the Evening Primrose

The development of these new products depends on the seeds of the Evening Primrose -- a plant believed to have emerged 70,000 years ago in Central America. Native Americans harnessed the plant's powers from its leaves. Botanists claim the Evening Primrose migrated to North America and spread across the world, where it has helped millions of people. Today, a growing body of international research is demonstrating a strong connection between essential fatty acids contained in EPO and health, such as EPO's ability to raise declining levels of n-6 and n-3. EPO, according to studies conducted by the Efamol Research Institute, can also elevate levels of dihomo gamma linoleic and arachidonic fatty acids in blood and body fat.

In short, as Efamol has discovered fat is no longer the enemy of health, but a resource that, used properly in our diet, can help people live healthier, longer lives.
