1 Fish, Flax, or Udo s? Choosing the right oils for your body s EFA needs By Udo Erasmus Ph.D. FACT: The human body needs EFAs. Two absolutely needed nutrients for the body can only be found in fat OMEGA-3 and OMEGA-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs). Both EFAs are naturally found in nuts, seeds, and their oils. OMEGA-6 is found in most seed oils. OMEGA-3 is found in few seed oils. The richest source of OMEGA-3 is flax. The OMEGA-3 in seed oils is in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which the body converts to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Seed and nut oils carefully made with health (rather than shelf life) in mind are the ideal source of EFAs for the long term and should be consumed as a regular part of the diet (they are not drugs) for a lifetime. Just one EFA, OMEGA-3 is found abundantly in the oils of fatty fish. It is already in the form of EPA and DHA, and rapidly raises EPA and DHA levels in the body. However, there is little OMEGA-6 in fish oils. Further, most fish oils contain highly toxic environmental pollutants, and are damaged by processing. In addition FACT: Given basic OMEGA-3, the body controls EPA and DHA levels. Another problem with the EPA and DHA oil in fish is that the body does not control the conversion process. Too much of either can lead to increased inflammation, decreased immune function, and other health problems. Consuming the recommended quantity (about one tablespoon per 50 pounds of body weight) of a seed or nut based oil rich in OMEGA-3, the body controls the conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA, and makes only as much as it needs (this will vary from tissue to tissue, from time to time, and from person to person). Given seed or nut oils, the body also obtains essential OMEGA-6. However

2 OMEGA-3 and OMEGA-6 work best in a ratio of 2:1. Too much OMEGA-6 can inhibit the conversion of ALA, which may increase inflammation or constrict arteries to increase risk of heart attacks, increase swelling to worsen arthritis, and aggravate psoriasis. Too little OMEGA-6 can is linked with serious health problems (degenerative conditions) that result from OMEGA-6 deficiency-based degeneration of every cell, tissue, gland, and organ in the body. Unfortunately, no single nut or seed oil provides both EFAs in the ideal ratio. Therefore FACT: Udo s Oil Blend answers the body s need for EFAs! For over 10 years, our message has been the same. Integrate Udo s Choice Oil Blend into the diet and ensure that the body gets its EFAs in exactly the right amounts. No more than optimum. No less than adequate. See Udo s Choice Essential Fat Solutions brochure for details. Which means FACT: Ensure that you get the right basics: Fads come and fads go. Every month, a new EFA product is hyped in the market place. Most of these new hypes contain toxins, and/or are packaged in plastic, and/or are poor in quality, and/or are damaged by or during processing, and/or contain the wrong ratio of EFAs. Supplementation with fish and flax oils is a short-term fix at best. At worst, they can cause health problems. Udo s Choice Oil Blend, used as a basic food that is part of a regular diet, is the ideal way to maintain good health over months and years for a lifetime. FACT: UDO S Choice Oil Blend: Is all natural, prepared from organically grown seeds Is third party certified organic Contains no toxins or additives Is pressed with great care and dated to guarantee freshness

3 Is protected from light, air, and heat Is packaged in glass rather than plastic Superior to Fish. Superior to Flax. Humans Turn ALA to EPA/DHA Studies show how men and women convert ALA By Udo Erasmus, Ph.D. Introduction Proponents of fish oils have claimed for decades that the body cannot convert the basic omega-3 (n-3) essential fatty acid, ALA, into the n-3 derivatives, EPA and DHA, found in fish oils. Is this true? If so, what is the evidence? When questioned, many fish oil promoters modify themselves and say that too little conversion takes place. When pushed further on the issue, they add "in some people", and pushed even further, they ll reluctantly admit that only "a small percentage of the population may not be able to adequately convert". The question of n-3 conversion is important, because EPA is needed to make health-protecting eicosanoid hormones that keep cell metabolism on an even keel, and DHA is required for brain development, brain function, vision, and sperm formation, and has heart-protective and antiinflammatory functions as well. If the body converts ALA into fish oil n-3, then fish or its oil is not required in the diet. If the body cannot convert, then we must all look to fatty fish or fish oils (ugh!) for these important n-3 derivatives. Untrue Claims The claim that the body cannot convert ALA to EPA and DHA was not true 20 years ago, and is not true today. This claim does, however, serve to protect the fish oil market. You see, if people knew that the body converts the plant n-3, ALA, to the long-chain n-3 derivatives found in fish, they would stop using rancid, contaminated, or partially damaged fish oils and would use n-3 rich vegetable oils made with health in mind instead. The truth is that most people do not get enough ALA in their diet. Our n-3 intake is only 1/6th of the amount eaten by people 150 years ago, and intake was far from optimal in Without sufficient starting material, not much conversion can take place. Zero ALA gets you zero conversion to EPA and DHA. Lots of ALA gets you lots of conversion. Even today, 95 to 99% of the population gets too little n-3 in their diet, making conversion inadequate in the majority of the population. Instead of

4 forcing them to take fish oils, shouldn t we encourage them to increase their intake of ALA? ALA Re-Introduction to the Diet Changes the Story That s what began to happen in Optimum intake of ALA became possible to consumers through the introduction of n-3 rich oils made with health in mind. In 1983, the author of this article developed methods for making oils with health in mind by protecting them from light, air (oxygen), and heat during processing, filtering, packaging, and storing. He then introduced the oil richest in n-3 (and therefore most sensitive to destruction by light, air, and heat), and subsequently developed a blend of several oils to obtain an optimum ratio of the n-3 and n-6 fatty acids essential to health. Given optimum amounts of ALA, can the body then make all of the EPA and DHA it needs? The answer to this question becomes clear from research findings reported below. Udo s Oil Blend contains about 50% ALA. Fish oils contain about 30% EPA + DHA. The questions about conversion that need to be answered are: Can the body convert ALA from Udo s Oil Blend into the n-3 derivatives EPA + DHA contained in fish oils? If so, how much conversion takes place? Is conversion sufficient for health needs? Research Hot Off the Press All three of these questions were answered in October 2002, by two studies published in the British Journal of Nutrition (BJN) which measured the conversion of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the short chain n-3 essential fatty acid, into the long chain n-3 derivatives EPA, DPA, and DHA. The first study, carried out with six women, showed that these women converted an average of 36% of the ALA they were given into long chain n-3 derivatives (21% EPA, 6%DPA, 9%DHA). The second study, done with six men, showed that the men converted an average of 16% of the ALA they received into long-chain n-3 derivatives (8%EPA, 8%DPA). In this study, the men produced no DHA. However, another study showed that men convert ALA to DHA as well. Rate of Conversion How much conversion to long chain n-3 derivatives (EPA + DHA) can a woman accomplish from the ALA in Udo s Choice Oil Blend? A 100-pound woman taking the recommended 2 tablespoons of Udo s Oil per day (1

5 tablespoon/50 pounds of body weight per day) will get about 14grams (14,000mg) of ALA. At the 36% conversion rate found in the study with young women, 14,000mg of ALA produces a total of 5,040mg of long chain n-3 (2,940mg of EPA, 840mg of DPA, and 1,260mg of DHA). 36% conversion of the oil blend produces the equivalent of about 17 large (1,000mg) capsules of fish oil (each containing 300mg of EPA + DHA), which is close to twice as much as the highest recommended therapeutic dose of fish oil. Using rate of conversion measured in the study with men, how much ALA is converted? A 150-pound man converting 16% of the recommended 3 tablespoons/day ends up with 3,360mg of long chain n-3 (EPA + DPA), the equivalent of 11 large capsules of fish oil. This again is more than the highest recommended therapeutic dose of fish oil. Practical Conversion Confirmation The conversion numbers given above confirm what health practitioners see in their practice. Patients readily switch from fish oils to Udo s Oil Blend because they prefer its taste. Used at the optimum dose of one tablespoon/50 pounds of body weight/day, practitioners tell us that the oil blend gives the same kinds but also a wider range of benefits than fish oils. These benefits include lower cardiovascular risk, smoother skin, higher energy levels, stamina, performance and recovery, better insulin sensitivity, lowered cancer risk, lowered inflammation, greater heat production, and improved mood, learning, IQ and calmness, and better ability to handle stress. Fish Oil Contamination There is another, very serious, problem with fish oils. Many fish oils, especially those derived from fish livers, are contaminated with mercury, PCBs, organo-chlorine pesticides, and dioxins. These toxins can be largely removed by processing, but the processing results in fish oil molecules being damaged and becoming toxic. According to a test carried out in by Central Science Labs in the UK ( Udo s Oil Blend is cleaner than even the cleanest of 15 commercial fish oils tested by that laboratory. This is because Udo s Oil Blend is pressed from organically grown (pesticide-free and mercury free) oil seeds. It is also free of any contaminants that might leach from plastic packaging, because the oil is always packaged in glass.
