Hi ,

Please place the Introduction to EFAs that I am e-mailing to you on the CHERAB

Web site at http://www.apraxia.cc and you will get the differences between

the flax seed oil and the others and many more issues in a more or less

organized fashion. I would be delighted to hear from all on this group list

whether they understood the presentation or whether they still have

questions. I think all those who access the group list should understand

what EFAs are from a reliable source. Instead of people puting in their 5

and 10 cents to create a picture we can spend the effort on compiling with

everybody's input, a presentation that is understood by all.

Take care,

Katz, Ph.D.

Liz,

I read that too in " Know Your Fats; " however, I can't find anywhere in

her book why LNA would be essential if one consumed adequate EPA, DHA,

etc. from animal sources. She never indicates the usefulness of LNA

other than conversion to these elongated omega-3's (which are used for

prostaglandin synthesis). She only says that LA and LNA, along with

their elongated forms, are constituents of cell membranes.

Also, 's post (6942) indicated that consumption of saturated fat

enhances " absorption " of EPA and DHA (Lawson, , 1988).

Interestingly, in Enig's book, it is stated that conversion of LNA to

EPA and DHA is assisted by consumption of saturated fat.
