What exactly are essential fatty acids?
Okay so I've been reading a lot about omega 3 and 6 and 9. I understand that most of it but I have some questions. 1) are essential fatty acids are amino acids? (As in, they are the "building blocks" of fat?) 2) What is the reported differences between the short, medium chain and long term? why they are different lengths? 3) I know the food sources of EFA, but they come from speciefic grease? for example. Polyunsaturated fats? Do they come from all fats, unsaturated or just? and if they do, why? 4) Is EFA calories? 5) I read that omega 3,6,9, especially 3 and 6, have "families" of the EFA, what does that mean? Is there more? a portion of fish give them all? Thanks,
1) No, but they are as essential amino acids. the term "essential" to describe amino acids and fatty simply means that particular molecule can not be produced by the body from other molecules. For example, aspartate amino acids can NOT do oxaloacetate by your body. So do not be consumed in order to have it. The essential amino acid (for example), isoleucine, you can not do anything in the body. So the only way to get it is from your diet. A less scientific example would be like orange juice. It is essential because we can do the oranges. However, Oranges are essential as they would have to go to the store to buy, can not be something you already have. 2) Fatty acids come in all shapes and sizes to use short, medium and long term to classify. Like the way we describe people as short-, medium high. 3) They come from all fats. Because your body simply can not something you already have. 4) yup 5) Unless you are a strict vegetarian, and has a healthy diet, you should have all the Education for All that you need.

Essential Fatty Acids Benefits, Maintain Good Health
Essential fatty acids or EFAs are fatty acids that should be obtained from diet since these cannot be created within an organism from other constituents through other kinds of chemical pathways. Experts usually refer to essential fatty acids highly involved in biological processes and not merely acting as a fuel source.
Achieving a healthy balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids is difficult with todays modern eating habits and possibly the only way to obtain that balance is by using Omega 3 supplements.
There are three types of Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA’s) is found primarily in Perilla and Flaxseed Oils. DHA’s docosahexaenoic acid and EPA’s eicosapentaenoic acids are found in oils that are extracted from cold water fish.
Omega-3 oils are high in two types of essential fats that your body needs to maintain its good health. These two fats are DHA and EPA. DHA and EPA are very important in maintaining your health. Scientific research has indicated that these substances may also help prevent a variety of very significant and sometimes common but life threatening diseases.
The prime function of EFAs is the production of prostaglandins, which regulate body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood clotting, fertility, conception. It also plays a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and encouraging the body to fight infection. Essential Fatty Acids are also needed for proper growth in children, especially for neural development and maturation of sensory systems. Fetuses and breast-fed infants also require an adequate supply of EFAs through the mother’s dietary intake.
The recommended daily intakes of essential fatty acids vary from organization to organization. Even in a low fat diet sufficient essential fatty acids can be consumed by eating fish or taking fish oil supplements. While the USDA has not established recommended daily intakes of essential fatty acids, they have established what they refer to as “Adequate Intake” for adults and children. Here we look at different recommendations for different age groups and various conditions.
A diet rich in omega-3 foods is what you should eat if you want to raise your good cholesterol levels and lower your bad cholesterol. It is recommended that a diet including two or three portions of fish each week will aid in lowering the levels of bad cholesterol as the essential fatty acids contained in fatty fish affect cholesterol.
Omega-3 fatty acids are unquestionably good for you, but they aren’t the only essential fatty acids. This group also includes the omega-6′s. Basically, omega-6 fatty acids make sure the body can defend itself. They are involved in the production of hormones that give the body the ability to respond to stress by clotting blood to seal a wound, increasing the heart rate and respiration for fight or flight, and in any number of hormonal processes related to sex.

Anyone had negative reaction while taking EFAS(Essential Fatty Acids)?
I recently started supplementing with fish,borage and flaxseed oil ya know, to keep a healthy heart. After taking them for about two weeks, I started having a bad case of acne and have never had a problem with my skin in the past. Now that I have ceased supplement with these particular supplements, the breakouts have stopped. I was just curious has anyone else ever had this reaction to supplementing with these Fatty Acids?
When you take these supplements you must realize that only a portion of the oil is EFA. The rest is an oil of some type. Your acne was likely due to the increased amount of oil in your diet. The best form of omega 3 fa’s is fish oil. There is a fish oil from costco, Nature Made and others that has a higher density of omega 3 to the oil in the tablet. If you take this you will be getting more EFA and less oil in your diet. I take this form and I like it a lot, just a little more expensive but worth it.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
