What are Essential Fats?
Scientists have given essential fats
(a.ka. essential fatty acids or EFAs) their name because the body must have them
to survive, but cannot synthesize them
from any other substance we eat, so a
direct food source is required. Hence, the name essential. There are
many kinds of fats, but only two kinds
of essential fats: omega 3 (n3 or w3)
and omega 6 (n-6 or w6), both of which
are unsaturated fats. Each EFA is turned into several derivatives by the body,
provided enough n-3 and n-6, in the
right ratio, and made with health in mind,
are supplied. All other fats, such as
omega 9 (monounsaturated), omega 7,
and saturated fat, are non-essential
because the body can produce them from sugars and starches.
