I just wanted to let you know that as a female, 48 and at 5′2 I was on my way to giving up on losing those last 15 pounds. I exercise hard and have always eaten well but I had to be so vigilant I was losing my desire to stay healthy because of how hard it was becoming. I finally decide that maybe I needed to take a look at my esential fatty acid intake given that Americans eat way too much of the omega 6. I was getting baggy eyes that I hated going out or just about being in public. I started taking essential fatty acids withmy food and within one day my face began to change and in tow days no more baggy eyes and my body started burning fat. I lost 4 pounds in three days and have been feeling great. I look very young for my age but now everyone swears I have had a face lift. I can not believe how many health doctors I have visited and they all missed this simple thing. My life is so different now simply because I feel like I did when I was in my twenties and I have the energy to match it. Now I know why so many people in other countries look better than we do. I swear it has got to be this very simple fact that just about everyone lese consumes essential fatty acids to a greater amount than we. I say this with no malice for I have traveled far and wide and I always wonder what is up with us not looking so healthy and so heavy. Thanks for you article.
