The second edition of a besteller, this book reaffirms that essential fatty acids have powerful effects on human life. Dr. Lands expertly explains how ignoring the initial dietary causes of diseases can negatively impact curative/treatment interventions. He uses clear examples and current data to demonstrate how a moderate, balanced diet is the key to long-term good health. This edition includes an expanded glossary of words and concepts to help readers recognize how specific nutrient imbalances can contribute to disease and death. Also new to this edition are dietary tables showing the link between diet choices and the levels of healthy omega-3 in the body.
