Oils 

This section details which oils you should included in your nutritional package.

This information on oils is extremely important:

Fish oil containing long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPH and DHA):

Fish%20Fillets.jpgConventional over the counter fish oils contain roughly 20% EPH/DHA.  Even some of the better fish oils only raise this percentage to around 30%.  When considering moving to fish oil supplementation for a lifetime you need to look at ultra-refined fish-oils with combined EPH/DHA content of around 60%.  For a list of approved sources look at www.ifosprogram.com.  These sources guarantee not only high doses of EPH and DHA but minimal amounts of pollutants (including mercury, PCBs and Dioxins - poisons and neurotoxins which accumulate in lesser quality fish oil).  Buy liquid oils as opposed to those in gelatine capsules.  Consume between 3-8 grammes per day (approximately 1 to 3 teaspoons, or 4 to 12 capsules).  Consume with meals.

Olive Oil:
