How to Obtain the EFA: Omega-6

Our body can NOT make EFAs, so we have to include them in our diet

Omega-6 fatty acids are plentiful in our diet, but we need to obtain them from a good source  -  much of the available omega-6 currently comes from refined seed oils and processed foods using them, which contain toxic fatty acids.

Damaged, altered, toxic fats

Some Good Omega-6 FOOD Sources:

FRESH, RAW, ORGANIC nuts and seeds.   From online or good health food stores; pine nuts, pecans, walnuts and sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds are excellent additions to a salad

-   Legumes, wheat germ, lean meat

-   Siberian pine nut oil - a good dressing oil for your table.

-   Avocadoes and their oil - cold-pressed (unrefined) avocado oil is this author's preferred oil for making salad dressing.
