Even if you eat a really healthy diet, the chances are very high that you are not getting enough of these EFA’s simply due to the lack of these essential oils in our food supply. Although you may have no overt symptoms that indicate a deficiency at this point, this does not mean that you don’t need them.
It simply means that your body hasn’t shown you yet. Every single person needs these oils – this is why they are called essential fatty acids, or EFA’s. You have to get them from your diet. You cannot be optimally healthy without them, and you may be setting yourself up for ill health later on by not supplying them in your diet.
