“What type of EFA oil supplementation do you recommend for post-menopausal women?”

 The first thing I’ll tell you is if anyone out there is taking fish oil, throw it down your toilet and flush it four times. Thank God you’re no longer promoting cancer and the other diseases you did when you consumed these ungodly substances.

 The same fatty acids in seeds are also in oil. The best way to get essential fatty acids is to sprout chia. In many parts of the world, especially around the holidays, you may be able to purchase Chia dolls. You may remember the little animals you put seeds on. They’re mucilaginous. They stick to it and grow. In the 1960s we had a chia doll that grew an afro.

 There are different ways you do this. You don’t need the chia clay doll to get the seeds and sprout them. In the last couple of years we’ve found out that chia has the best profile of fatty acids of any food. Hemp is a very close behind it. Sprouted flax seeds are a very good source. Walnuts and their oils are a very good source. Eating whole foods and their sprouts is significantly the best way to do it.

 If you want to take oil with a lot of fatty acids, precluding so-called fish oil, make sure you buy small amounts. Anything that has a lot of three, six or nine in it is also vulnerable to oxidation. It goes rancid very quickly. Buy small amounts and refrigerate it. If you take it in a sprouted form it’s much less expensive.
