I found this great article on EFA’s or essential fatty acids and how even though they are fats they are extremely important to our health and actually the opposite effect on our bodies then we think. Essential Fatty Acids actually help us burn fat and lose weight. (An unsaturated fatty acid is essential to human health, but cannot be manufactured in the body and are therefore named Essential Fatty Acids).
Take a look at the article and let me know your thoughts.
