I can't find really good fish oil, but I can find good flaxseed oil. big fat girls Udo Erasmus, author of the book "Fats that heal, Fats that kill" has some interesting things to say on the subject of oils. The essential fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic acids, are necessary for the normal functioning of all cells, tissues, and organs. The big fat girls richest source of alpha-linoleic acid is flaxseed. Without EFA's, humans and animals alike would deteriorate until we die if we don't big fat girls get any, degenerate if we get too little, must get at least minimum amounts to remain functional and must obtain optimal amounts from diet to remain healthy, as the body is unable to make the acids. However, EFA's are sensitive to destruction - particularly by light, air and high temperatures (think refining, hydrogenating and frying). Oils are best unrefined because the unrefined oils contain some 'minor' ingredients (minor in proportion, major in health impact), such as phytosterols, lecithin, Vit E, carotene and hundreds of other phytochemicals.
