Millions of people have been pouring flax seed oil over their salads, adding it to recipes and menus, and taking big capsules of it on a daily basis. The idea was to get something called EPA, DHA, and GLA from the essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids it contains. The problem is that to get GLA, EPA and DHA from flax oil, you need a special digestive enzyme. And, guess what? The news from Level1Diet.com is that only young, healthy people make enough of the enzyme to do the conversion from flax oil into these special nutrients that people are looking for. What are all these initials and why do people want them? EPA, DHA and GLA are called "essential fatty acids" because your body can't make them by itself. You must eat foods (or take supplements) from outside sources containing either Lenoleic Acid (LA) or Alpha Lenolenic Acid (LNA). Flax seed oil contains both of these. The Linoleic Acid from flax oil must be converted into Gamma Linolenic Acid using a Delta-6 Desaturase D6D enzyme. However, D6D is made inoperative by high levels of insulin (from eating sugar or simple starches), alcohol, pollutants, or high levels of Omega-6 Fatty acids from vegetable oils, fried foods, trans-fatty acids, emotional stress, etc. D6D also becomes less available anyway as we age. Most importantly, there is a common inherited gene that causes a lifelong D6D deficiency. Scientists speculate that this gene is probably the true cause of inherited cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes, and other metabolic inflammatory conditions. Whether inherited or dietary, D6D deficiency may be the major factor behind most major deadly diseases. This revolutionary insight is a driving force behind the Level1Diet.com Anti-Inflammation Health Program. SOLUTION? Fish oils give you EPA and DHA with needing to be converted by D6D. Borage oil gives you GLA with using D6D. Simply to add them into your diet. (1) Take Borage Oil (about 24% GLA), which gives you GLA without needing D6D (best source). Recommended daily dose is about 300mg of GLA from one 1,200mg oil capsule for most normal sized people - up to twice that for very large people. (2) Take Fish Oil, which gives you EPA and DHA without needing D6D. Recommended dose is 2.4 grams a day of total EPA and DHA. That means about 3-4 pharmaceutical grade capsules, or 10 normal standard health store capsules. Both these oils together will help your body produce more of the anti-inflammatory prostaglandin series-1 and series-3 inflammation fighters.
