Omega-3 & Omega-6: Essential or Inflammatory?
Oils Made with Health in Mind
Oils to Go For & Oils to Avoid
Notable Quotes
“If you’re going down because you’re not getting enough of a nutrient, an essential nutrient, before you die, you bring in enough back into the diet, all the problems that come from not getting enough are reversed because life knows how to build the body, as long as we take responsibility at our mouth to make sure that optimum quantities of all of the essential nutrients land in the body so that life can do its job.”
– Udo Erasmus
“More health problems come from damaged oils than any other part of nutrition, and more health benefits come from making the oil change that your body needs by dumping the damaged oils and replacing them with oils that are made with health in mind.”
– Udo Erasmus
