What are Essential Fats?
Scientists have given essential fats (a.ka. essential fatty acids
or EFAs) their name because the body must have them to survive, but
cannot synthesize them from any other substance we eat, so a direct
food source is required. Hence, the name essential. There are many
kinds of fats, but only two kinds of essential fats: omega 3
(n-3 or w3) and omega 6 (n-6 or w6), both of which are unsaturated
fats. Each EFA is turned into several derivatives by the body, provided
enough n-3 and n-6, in the right ratio, and made with health in
mind, are supplied. All other fats, such as omega 9 (monounsaturated),
omega 7, and saturated fat, are non-essential because the body can
produce them from sugars and starches.

Where do Essential Fats come from?
Sources of n-3s are flaxseeds and green leafy vegetables. The n-3
derivatives EPA and DHA are found in high fat, cold water fish such
as albacore tuna, sardines, Atlantic halibut and salmon, coho, pink
and king salmon, Pacific and Atlantic herring, Atlantic mackerel,
and lake trout. Small amounts of EPA and DHA n-3s are also found
in oysters and other shellfish.
N-6 is found in sesame and sunflower seeds and other seeds and nuts.
Land animal meats and fish are sources of the n-6 derivative arachidonic acid (AA). The fish listed above are preferred sources of n-3 and n-6
derivatives, because they are the richest sources, and contain both,
with more n-3s.
