Harmful Fats

"Fats that Heal Fats that Kill" presents the most current research on common and lesser known oils with therapeutic potential: flax, hemp, olive, fish, evening primrose, borage, black currant, and even the much maligned snake oil. Here the author exposes the manufacturing processes that turn healing fats into killing fats, explains the effects of these damaged fats on human health, and discloses the information that enables you to choose health-promoting oils.

In this book Udo Erasmus dispels many of the myths about fat; for example, that fats make you fat. He tells which oils to avoid and which ones can help normalize your weight. He also has advice for athletes who want to improve stamina and performance.

Erasmus shares fifteen years experience working with oils, developing what he calls a practical ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 essential fats. Includes delicious recipes that help integrate healing oils and fats into daily meals, naturally. Contains some fish recipes. Color photos.
