Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Avocado's, Olive's, & Coconut's don't have Omega 3 & 6 in them. They are the two essential fatty acids that we must consume. According to Udo Erasmus one must consume 1 tablespoon of Omega 3 & 6 oil per 50lbs. of bodyweight. What makes hemp unique among those types of oils is that it has Gamma Linolenic Acid. _____ On Behalf Of Kelle DeLuca Saturday, June 06, 2009 3:19 PM Re: Cheese-Kelle #2 Thank you! I'll check out the website. In think I'm getting enough oil in the flax seeds, nut butters, avocados and recipes with olive oil in them. Maybe a tbsp of flax oil would help too. Cheers!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Udo Erasmus is in the business of selling fat (oil), though, so one should bear that in mind. Even so, I understand that he recommends that no more than 15-20% of our calories should be from fat. I suspect that most of his customers just add his fat to their already fatty diets. I think that all of our nutritional needs can be met without consuming oils. Oils are not a whole food, but a fractionated food, stripped of fiber, protein and carbs, which is where most of the nutrients are. They are an empty calorie food, just like white sugar. And without fiber, the oil goes rancid very quickly, making it potentially carcinogenic.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Ah, so then consuming from sources like hemp or flax is better than taking a spoonful or capsule of the oil. Guess it's time for me to do some more research to see what all my options are for the Omega 3s and 6s. I know fish is a good source, but I'm staying away from that too. Thank you for all the info!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Kelle, Yes, when I was eating flax I would grind two or three tablespoons of flax seeds in a coffee grinder and add it to my other food.
