YES Ultimate cold-pressed, raw, organically-grown, pristine, vibrant omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids


Before the boom in processed foods most people ate sufficient pristine, vibrant, polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid) to meet most of the body's needs. This is no longer so, and our health is almost certainly suffering. It is important to restore good levels of the two essential fatty acids into our daily diet.
The body uses various mixes of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid for many purposes. They are, for instance, the body's fats of choice for the maintenance of the membranes of (i) the body's ~37 trillion cells, and (ii) the (sometimes thousands of) energy-producing organelles called mitochondria inside every cell. A key function of the cell membrane is cell oxygenation, which it does by facilitating the diffusion of oxygen from the bloodstream into the interior of the cell. A key function of the mitochondrial membrane is mitochondrial oxygenation, which it does by facilitating the diffusion of oxygen from the overall interior of the cell into the interior of the mitochondrion, where it is needed to fuel the mitochondrion's production of the energy (largely adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in a healthy cell) needed for the cell's many functions.
If, and only if, the body cannot find sufficient vibrant linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid will it it use other, less effective fats ...
  • firstly, less pristine, less vibrant linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
  • then, derivative fatty acids
  • then, the toxic synthetic trans fatty acids (transfats) and homogenised fats
... to make the cell and mitochondrial membranes. These inferior fats will also oxygenate the cells and mitochondria, but less efficiently than pristine, vibrant essential fatty acids (linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid).
The good news ...
The good news is that, as we diligently return our body to an abundance of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid (by consuming lots of raw nuts, seeds, oils or, perhaps, a dietary supplement containing raw, cold-pressed oils of these nuts and seeds) the body:
  • returns to its two beloved, more-effective, essential fatty acids for membrane maintenance - linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
  • stops using the less-effective fats - the damaged EFAs, the 'derivative' fatty acids, the trans fatty acids and the hydrogenised fats
Membranes are repaired with the most oxygenating materials.

Cinnamon defats liver

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the build-up of excessive fat in the liver cells of people who drink little or no alcohol. It is the main cause of liver (hepatic) damage worldwide, and affects up to a quarter of US adults - an estimated 90 million people. 1 When more than 10% of the weight of their liver is from fat (an alternative definition of NAFLD) people are more prone to inflammation and scarring of the liver, becoming (i) overweight or obese and often (ii) 'insulin resistant' (see GHWM47p10). Severe cases of NAFLD can even trigger liver failure. If you are not attracted by the raft of drugs and side effects that orthodox medicine offers people with NAFLD, cinnamon may be a powerful alternative. One meta-analysis of ten trials (covering a combined 543 patients) found that various cinnamon doses (between 120mg and 6g per day for between four and eighteen weeks) significantly reduced (i) fasting blood glucose levels, (ii) blood total and LDL (...

Essential fatty acids reduced carbohydrate cravings

In 2005 Dr. Stephen Cavallino persuaded ten of his 'carbohydrate addict', overweight patients (eight females, two males) to: „     put themselves onto a higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet for eight-weeks „     add a 'triply essential' fatty acid omega-6:omega-3 ~2:1 daily dietary supplement for the second four-weeks of the trial (2,900 milligrams daily, as provided by LINKYES Ultimate EFAs) „     assess themselves before starting the higher-protein, lower carbohydrate diet, then keep a daily log of their experience, particularly with regard to:     „     appetite    „     carbohydrate craving     „     weight reduction     „     general energy     „     general alertness Analysis of the logs justified the following conclusions: „     Adopting a higher-protein, lower carb...

Singly essential, doubly essential and triply essential fatty acids

For the last six months we have put in a lot of time learning everything there is to know about fatty acids.  Here is the first posting ...  Within the fields of academic biology, medicine and nutrition the adjective ‘essential’ is used in three different ways. There is the common usage of '‘must have’ or ‘cannot do without’ this or that nutrient if one wants to achieve good health. Many fatty acids are deemed 'essential ' or 'singly essential' in this sense. Academic biologists, doctors, researchers and nutritionists sometimes use the adjective 'essential' as a shorthand for 'this nutrient cannot be made by the human body'. There are two fatty acids considered 'doubly essential' - alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA) - in that: we cannot do without them if we want to achieve good health they cannot be made by the human body For many people the adjective 'essential' is also a synonym of the adjective 'p...
