For this reason, butter, nuts, vegetable oils, and other foods that contain unstable fats should be protected from exposure to air and kept refrigerated as much as possible. In contrast to the "bad fats" described above, so-called "essential fatty acids" (EFAs) have a number of beneficial effects. EFAs are usually classified as either omega-6 or omega-3 fatty acids, depending on their chemical structure. Sunflower oil, safflower oil, and soybean oil are good sources of omega-6 EFAs. The best sources of omega-3 fatty acids are flaxseed oil and fish oil.

Sources Vitamin E is found in the following food sources: avocados, cold-pressed vegetable oils (olive, soybean, corn, canola, safflower, and sunflower), dark green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts), seeds, and whole grains. Significant quantities of this vitamin are also found in brown rice, cornmeal, dulse, eggs, kelp, desiccated liver, milk, oatmeal, organ meats, soybeans, sweet potatoes, watercress, wheat, and wheat germ. Herbs that contain vitamin E include alfalfa, bladderwrack, dandelion, dong quai, flaxseed, nettle, oat straw, raspberry leaf, and rose hips.

The type of dietary fat profile linked to type 2 diabetes is an abundance of saturated fat and trans fatty acids (hydrogenated vegetable oils) along with a relative insufficiency of monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids. One of the key reasons appears to be the fact that since dietary fat determines cell membrane composition, such a dietary pattern leads to reduced membrane fluidity, which in turn causes reduced insulin binding to receptors on cellular membranes and/or reduced insulin action.

Omega-6 EFAs, which include linoleic and gamma-linolenic acids, are found primarily in raw nuts, seeds, and legumes, and in unsaturated vegetable oils, such as borage oil, grape seed oil, primrose oil, sesame oil, and soybean oil. A recent study reported in the British medical journal Lancet has shown that omega-3 fatty acids, which create a more stable arterial plaque, are better for your heart than the omega-6 variety. We recommend that you try to increase your consumption of omega-3s at the expense of the omega-6s.

We recommend that you avoid the omega-6 vegetable oils such as sunflower, grapeseed, soy, corn, and safflower. Even more stable for cooking than monounsaturated fats are saturated fats from coconut oil. These saturated fats are different from the ones found in animal products—they are shorter. Coconut oil contains what are referred to as short- and medium-chain triglycerides, while the saturated fats in animal products are long-chain triglycerides. Being shorter, short- and medium-chain triglycerides are handled by the body differently.

Because of this imbalance, we suggest you try to limit your intake of omega-6-rich vegetable oils. Which fats are the superstars? Clearly, olive oil is one of the very best. It is high in mono-unsaturated fatty acids, and there are lots of data to support its positive health benefits.435'436,437 Olive oil can be used to saute almost anything. We use it not only for all the obvious vegetables like onions, garlic, tomatoes, and peppers, but also for scrambled eggs. Extra-virgin olive oil is our favorite because of its additional health benefits, such as prevent- *????

The chains contain bends and kinks that create points of rigidity, so the molecules cannot pack together as tightly; a feature responsible for the liquid character of vegetable oils, for example. Monounsaturated fatty acids fall somewhere between these two extremes: they contain a single point of rigidity. This is why olive oil, a rich source of these lipids, is liquid at room temperature but solid in the refrigerator.

Yet, for several decades, animal fats have been considered so harmful that experts recommended the consumption of vegetable oils instead. They are obtained from grains, seeds and nuts. For centuries vegetable oils have been used around the world for nutritional, medicinal and religious purposes. Through simple compression of the plants or grains you can obtain excellent quality oils, but, because of their enormous amount of nutrients, they can spoil very quickly. Here we go again! The economically sane thing to do is to find ways to develop vegetable oils with a longer shelf lives.

That's because vegetable oils that are high in omega-6 fatty acids (corn, safflower, sunflower) are ubiquitous in everything from cookies and crackers to soups and sauces. Our great-grandparents had a healthier þ ? Fish Oil There is little clinical evidence to support the value of fish oil against osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, the preliminary data look encouraging, and fish oil is one of the more effective anti-inflammatory compounds we know of.

Margarine and shortening are manufactured from vegetable oils through hydrogenation. This means that a hydrogen molecule is added to the natural unsaturated fatty acid molecules of the vegetable oil to make it more saturated. Hydrogenation, the adding of hydrogen molecules, results in changing the structure of the natural fatty acid to many "unnatural" fatty acid forms as well as from the cis to the trans configuration (see Figure 4.3). The result is that the vegetable oil is now solid or semisolid, but that structural change carries with it significant health risks.

Avoid fried foods, animal fats, and heat-processed vegetable oils such as those sold in supermarkets. Use cold pressed oils only. Beware of any oils that have been subjected to heat, whether in processing or cooking. Heating oils leads to the production of free radicals, which have a destructive effect on the skin. Do take supplemental essential fatty acids (see under Nutrients, above). This may be the best supplement available for dry skin, but be patient; it may take a month or more to see results. Q Do not drink soft drinks or eat sugar, chocolate, potato chips, or other junk foods.

For essential fatty acids, use primrose oil supplements plus small amounts of cold-pressed organic vegetable oils. d Do not consume refined sugar or anything that contains it. Alcoholics often have disorders of sugar metabolism. Q Get plenty of rest, especially in the early weeks of recovery, to allow your body to cleanse and repair itself. Q Avoid people, things, and places that are associated with drinking. Make new friendships with people who do not drink. Taking up a hobby, becoming involved in sports, and exercising promote self-esteem and provide a productive outlet for energy.

Avoid alcohol, butter, caffeine, cheese, chocolate, cocoa, cream, eggs, fat, fish, fried foods, hot and spicy foods, hydrogenated oils and shortenings, margarine, meat, poultry, wheat, soft drinks, and foods containing brominated vegetable oils. Q Try eliminating dairy products from your diet for one month. Acne may develop due to an allergic reaction to dairy products, and the fat content of the dairy products can worsen the condition. Modern dairy and other animal products often contain hormones and steroids that can upset the body's natural hormonal balance.

High-fat diets, low in omega-3 fatty acids (from seafood) and high in omega-6 fatty acids (from vegetable oils), promote the disease and increase the severity of complications. Likewise, high antioxidant intake combined with a low-fat diet and increased DHA intake can reduce the severity of MS. We also know that certain metals, such as mercury, iron, and aluminum, make symptoms worse. Aluminum accumulates in the fatty covering of nerve pathways (myelin) and may interact with iron to promote dramatic increases in free-radical production, greatly aggravating symptoms.

It is ironic that the self-appointed, orthodox medical elite declared vegetable oils, most of which are N-6 oils, to be the answer to cardiovascular health and a way to prevent atherosclerosis. Newer studies indicate that in fact N-6 oils may be the culprit. Even more intriguing, during the original studies on atherosclerosis it was observed that the oxidized fatty acids in the walls of blood vessels were made mainly of polyunsaturated N-6 oils—the very same as those promoted by the medical elite. This was over seventy years ago.

The difference is that we more clearly define what are healthy vegetable oils that should be included in the diet, and we believe that regular fish consumption should be a part of a healthful diet. The four key principles of our diet program are to avoid high-calorie, low-nutrient foods such as junk foods, candy, and soft drinks; eat a "rainbow" of fruits and vegetables; reduce the intake of meat and animal products; and eat the right types of fats.

Margarines are 90 percent vegetable oils (usually corn oil), which were hydro-genated to make them solid. By the 1950s, these "seed oils" had taken over the cooking oil market and were a big success in the rapidly expanding fast food rage. Dr. Enig notes noted that by the late 1950s, American researcher Ancel Keys announced that the growing epidemic of coronary heart disease was due to people eating these hydrogenated vegetable fats.

This is the fatty acid present in all the vegetable oils the American Heart Association and the government previously told you to eat in unlimited amounts. The more the better, they preached. Several enzymes react with this fatty acid, converting it to a longer chain fatty acid called arachidonic acid. This fatty acid is stored within the membranes of all our cells. What is important to remember is that the more bad fats we eat, the more of them we have in our cells.

When it comes to weight problems, however, animal fats and vegetable oils are essentially all the same. They all pack in 9 calories per gram. Step three is to focus on high-fiber foods. A grain of brown rice, for example, has a thin cloak of fiber surrounding the grain that gives the rice its tan color. To produce white rice, manufacturers strip away this coating, but you are better off if it is left intact. Fiber, which was once called roughage, fills you up so you feel naturally satisfied after a meal.

Most Americans eat way too much saturated fat found in meats and the omega-6 oils found in most vegetable oils. Because of this, they suffer from a relative deficiency of monounsaturated fats from olive oil and nuts and even more so the omega-3 fats found in fish and flaxseed oil?a situation that is associated with an increased risk for diabetes and about sixty other conditions including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, skin diseases, and cancer.
