Written by a research scientist in the field of nutrition, this book describes how the body's digestive, communication, and nervous systems function, and links fatty acid intake to memory, mood and behavior. Schmidt explains how most "low-fat" diets are actually unhealthy and how many people today get little or none of important fatty acids like omega-3 in their junk-food meals. 10 charts & tables.

Read this book!,

This review is from: Smart Fats: How Dietary Fats and Oils Affect Mental, Physical and Emotional Intelligence (Paperback)
This is the best book on fats I've read. It's not written in a "pop" style like so many other nutrition books, but is simply well written and comprehensive. After reading this book I will never, ever touch another donut for as long as I live! Technical details that other authors apparently thought were too difficult for the average reader are covered in this book. But that doesn't make the book difficult to read. On the contrary, I had a hard time putting it down.

This review is from: Smart Fats: How Dietary Fats and Oils Affect Mental, Physical and Emotional Intelligence (Paperback)
I was very happy to find Dr. Schmidts book, "SMART FATS". Having spent several years researching EFA Balance, I found the information in his book to be very accurate and a wonderful information source. This country is in dire need for Omega Balance and for the knowledge to know why. Hurray for "SMART FATS"!Stanley R. Mann, VP. Research and Education Integrity Direct Inc.

By George Washington (San Mateo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smart Fats: How Dietary Fats and Oils Affect Mental, Physical and Emotional Intelligence (Paperback)
Dr. Schmidt did a great job writing this book and I highly recommend it to people who have mood/behavior problems, or parents whose kids are on Ritalin, have ADD, ADHD, or petit mal siezures. Excellent info for nutritionists too who are interesting in learning the details.I would recommend looking into more of Dr. Schmidt's books; they are all good!
