OMEGA-3 DEFICIENCY:

A few years ago I heard Donald Rudin, M.D., author of The Omega-3 Phenomenon, explain that the intake of omega-3 fatty acids has declined by 80 percent over the past seventy-five years. This has come about by:

decreased fish consumption.

increased use of omega-3-deficient oils like corn and sunflower oils.

elimination of cereal germ in milling practices (cereal germ contains the fatty acids).

hydrogenation of oils commercially.

a 2,500 percent increase in the use of trans-fatty acids (which interfere with the uptake of essential fatty acids).

a 250 percent increase in the use of sugar (which interferes with the enzymes needed for fatty acid synthesis).
