About this title

Synopsis

Traditionally, fats have been seen as the enemy of health, and a low fat diet advised to help cure or avoid heart disease. However, fats remain a healthy food source, both for energy production and also for healthy body functioning. There has been a lot of work recently by the scientific and medical community on fish oils and fatty acids, and the former are now believed to be essential for heart health. The authors provide an account of all the research on fats, including their own, that should be of use to practitioners in complementary medicine, doctors, nutritionists and the interested general public.
