Like vitamins, Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) are essential
to health. Older literature, in fact, refers to them
as vitamin F. Vitamins and EFA's are essential because:
-
We must have them to
live and to be healthy.
-
Our bodies cannot make
them from other substances.
-
We must obtain an adequate
supply from external sources—from food or from
supplements. Deficiency results in gradual deterioration
of cells and tissues.
