4.0 out of 5 stars Choosing the Right Fats, August 10, 2006

This review is from: Choosing the Right Fats (Natural Health Guide) (Alive Natural Health Guides) (Paperback)

This book is a useful and enlightening book as a companion to the author's book on "Fats that Heal and Fats that Kill." He touches on MCFA (Medium-Chain Fatty Acids) but you will not know it since his focus is on the Omega 3 and 6. Lauric acid is referred to but not the fact that it comes from Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. And, that is a shame. There is also the lack of attention to the value of lignans that are contained in well processed Flax Oil, which is a great source of Omega 3.
