Unlike vitamins, EFAs cannot be dried, powdered and stored for several years. EFA sensitivity makes careful processing and freshness extremely important.Omega-6 And Omega-3 EFAsMany standard texts on nutrition suggest three EFAs: linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acids. This outdated information is wrong. Two fatty acids are essential to human health. (Fish require only one fatty acid and plants require neither - they make eicosaoentaenoic acid their own.) The first is the omega-6 EFA, which is called linoleic acid eicosaoentaenoic acid (LA). LA is abundant in polyunsaturated safflower, sunflower and corn oils. The second, known as the omega-3 EFA, is called alpha-linolenic acid (LNA) and is sometimes referred to as super-unsaturated; it is found abundantly in flax and hemp seeds.LA and its derivatives belong to the omega-6 family of polyunsaturates. In addition to linoleic acid (LA), this family includes the down-line metabolites gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), dihomogamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), and arachidonic acid (AA).If
