Without chromosome integrity, degenerative diseases occur. The mantra of high cholesterol has also drummed up much business for the pharmaceutical industry who has profited enormously by the physician's compulsion to lower high cholesterol levels by means of drugs. In the wake of misinformation and lack of proper nutrition, many people continue to suffer without resolution of their health problems. Compounding the problem of a deficiency of ingesting good quality fats is the ubiquitous use of prescribed drugs in our society. Correcting the EFA problem by means of good nutrition will not only improve the patient's symptoms and decrease their need for the medications, it will also help improve the patient's overall health.
Fats are essential to bodily function.
When high quality, electron-rich fats are combined with proteins, the electrons are protected until needed by the body. The more bonds within the EFA structure the more beneficial the EFA is to the body. As an example, olive oil has only one unsaturated bond compared to flaxseed oil which has three. Another beneficial factor comes from the presence of a field of electrons when two or more bonds are present. These electrical charges are easily released within the body to recharge living substances, especially to the brain and nerves.
