Healing fats are required, together with other nutrients, to prevent and reverse so-called "incurable" degenerative disease, heart disease, cancer, and Type-2 diabetes. Healing fats help reverse arthritis, obesity, PMS, allergies, asthma, skin conditions, fatigue, yeast and fungal infections, addictions, certain types of mental illness, and many other conditions. Good fats also enhance athletic performance, skin beauty, longevity, and energy levels.
Contrary to popular belief based on advertising hype, the most dangerous fats are typically found in margarines, shortenings, and heated oils.
Fats that Heal; Fats that Kill 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.
Fats that Heal; Fats that Kill brings you 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 aligned snake oil. You may be shocked and surprised by what you learn.
"A tremendous amount of hard-to-find information- the first book to make sense of the role of fats in health. A welcome relief from the one-sided approach of our current health authorities, who espouse the low-fat diet as the panacea for all health problems. The informed and balanced presentation will help to take the fear out of fats."- Richard A. Kunin, MD; author of 'MegaNutrition' and 'The Listen to Your Body Diet'; President of International Society for Orthomolecular Medicine.
"A monumental piece of work...it will make a distinct contribution."- E. Cheraskin, MD, DMD; author of 'Vitamin C: Who Needs It?'
