This was a paid report I wrote for subscribers in 2008, and I have updated it with new reflections. It is well worth taking in now in 2022, in my view, so check it out today while it’s free! My original intention was to investigate the claims of physiologist Ray Peat that the essential fatty acids are not essential at all. I came away from my research believing that they are, in fact, essential, but that mainstream textbooks and reviews made several serious errors. One was that they grossly inflated the requirement. Another was that they missed the most important point, that the requirement is far lower when supplied by animal fats, especially liver. My most stunning discovery was that the omega-3 fatty acid, EPA, might not even be a normal constituent of the mammalian body. I stand by this discovery and it has shaped my view of modern omega-3 research ever since. You will likely find many nuggets in this report surprising. Watch or listen today while it's free!
