NUTRIENTS THAT:

What's

“ESSENTIAL”?

– Can’t be made in body | Necessary for health | Outside source

– Too little → body breakdown . Deficiency symptoms that get worse with time; too little too long kills

– Return of enough to deficient diet reverses all deficiency symptoms

– Life knows how to make a body that works

– We have to ensure optimum intake of building blocks

– Building blocks come from sunlight, air, water, and food

• Needed for proper cell membrane function (membrane fluidity)

• Needed for proper function of brain and nervous system

• Supports healthy skin – smoother, less irritation

• Metabolized into anti-inflammatory prostaglandins

• Maintains health of arteries and lowers triglycerides – healthy blood pressure

• Thought to play a role in fat metabolism: turning on fat burning genes

• Associated with reduced chance of insulin resistance

• Associated with lower risk of cardiovascular diseases

• Substrate for making DHA and EPA

• Needed for proper cell membrane function (membrane fluidity)

• Needed for proper function of brain and nervous system

• Supports healthy skin

• Metabolized into both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory prostaglandins as needed

• Associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease

• Substrate for making GLA, an important anti-inflammatory fatty acid, and AA, an important structural fatty acid

ESSENTIAL FOOD OIL FOUNDATION:

DERIVATIVE OIL SUPPLEMENT:

– Oils/fats are major nutrients (like protein and carbs)

– Fix damaged food oil foundation by ‘oil change for the body’

– Supplements are add-ons, not substitute for food oils

– Fish, Krill, Mussel, Algae

Intake 100 grams

Foundational Oils

Udo’s Oil insures that the majority of fat in your diet comes from quality sources (13.5 g per tbsp)

Daily Dietary Fat

• Make up about 97% of dietary fat.

• Taken in grams, not milligrams

• Udo’s Oil is foundational – not supplemental

• Make up about 3% of dietary fat.

• Taken in milligrams, not grams

• Fish & algae oils are supplemental – not foundational

We consume an average of 75-100 grams of fat per day

• 3000 mg of supplemental from quality sources

• 97 grams of foundational from various sources

Supplemental Oils

• ESSENTIAL FOOD OIL FOUNDATION:

– 2-4 tbsp./day, mixed in foods; intake spread over day

• = 27-54 grams (1-2 oz.); up to 1 tbsp./50 lb. of body weight/day

• DERIVATIVE OIL SUPPLEMENT:

– 1-3 g capsules/day; not more than 5.1 g/day

• ALL-SOME-NONE STATEMENT:

– ALL of us need a food oil foundation made with health in mind

– SOME of us benefit from adding supplements

– NONE of us can be healthy on supplements alone

DAMAGED FOOD OIL FOUNDATION

– Bottled, plant-based cooking and salad oils

– Colourless, odourless, tasteless, damaged

– 1 tbsp., 1% damaged = 1.5 M damaged molecules for every one of 60 T body cells

ESSENTIAL FOOD OIL FOUNDATION:

– Made with health in mind

NEED TO FIX FOUNDATION even if ZERO conversion

Fish oils are NOT competition for an Udo’s Oil Foundation

• A combination of plant based, organic oils that contain omega-3, -6, & -9 in a 2:1:1 ratio

• Flaxseed oil*, sunflower seed oil*, sesame seed oil*, coconut oil*, evening primrose seed oil*, rice bran oil*, soy lecithin*, oat bran oil*, mixed tocopherols**.

Foundational Essential Fatty Acids

Supplemental Derivatives

A prostaglandin is any member of a group of lipid compounds derived enzymatically from fatty acids that have important functions in the animal body They are mediators and have a variety of strong physiological effects. Although they are technically hormones, they are rarely classified as such.

Arachidonic Acid

• Rabbits, Horses, and Elephants eat only plant foods (mostly grass), and convert grass omega-3 (ALA) into DHA for brain, retina (vision), and sperm

• Gorillas eat only leaves and greens, and

convert plant ALA into DHA for brain,

vision, and sperm

• 300 Million Hindu Brahmins:

Obligate vegetarians for 5,000+ years;

never eat fish or take fish oils; just as smart,

see as well, and reproduce as effectively as

fish eaters and supplement oil users

Body converts foundation oil into supplement

O-3 ALA → EPA (5-10%, body of both genders)

O-3 ALA → DHA (2-5% female, 1% in male body)

O-6 conversion is not a concern; enough intake in most people

Research shows people are able to convert ALA to DHA at a rate of 2-5% and 5-10% for EPA. This means that 1 tbsp of Udo’s Oil, which has 6500mg of O-3, will give between 130 and 325mg DHA and 325-650mg of EPA.

Factors that promote a healthy conversion:

• Getting enough ALA starting material

• Sufficient levels of vitamin B3, B6, Mg, Zn, vitamin C

• Improving the ratio of omega -3 to omega -6 in the body

• Phytosterols, phytoestrogens, GLA, and protein in diet

• Being female or vegetarian also upregulates conversion

Factors that decrease conversion:

• CLA, trans fats, excess carbohydrates and saturated fats in the diet

• High omega -6 levels

• Low levels of the vitamins and minerals mentioned above

• Being male

• Genetic factors

• Aging

• Smoking, alcohol, high sodium, and certain medications like corticosteroids

No, we do not.

• The American Heart Association recommends 5 - 10% of daily calories from Omega 6

• On average North Americans only consume 13g of omega-6 per day –

most of these are highly refined and heated/damaged oils.

• High quality supplemental and foundational oils are important for good health

Did you know?

• Omega 6 is just as essential as Omega 3

• LA is the most abundant essential fatty acid in the human body

• The body tightly regulates conversion of LA to AA

• Our brains need 4 times more AA than DHA per day to function properly

• Omega 6 produces both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory molecules as

needed. No link with inflammatory diseases has been found associated with

dietary omega-6.

1 Tbsp of Udo’s Oil contains 3g of Omega 6

ESSENTIAL FOOD OIL FOUNDATION:

– Organic

– Protected from light, oxygen, heat

– No harsh chemicals

DERIVATIVE OIL SUPPLEMENT:

– More processing needed

– EPA, DHA are 5 times more sensitive than plant O-3

– Damaged by processing (like food oils, but more sensitive)

– Can get KRILL and ALGAE DHA oil made without damage

• FROZEN: 3 years; solid → NO molecules move, meet, react

• COLD, CLOSED: 12 months in fridge

• COLD, OPEN: Use within 8 weeks

• ROOM TEMP, OPEN: Can taste rancidity in a week

• CAPSULES: 1 year without refrigeration

• GLASS: Has class; 2,500 years of safe use; no leaching

• METAL: Catalyzes damage to oils; shellacked

• WOOD: Oil seeps in and goes rancid, polymerizes

• CARDBOARD: Covered with paraffin, petrochemicals

• PLASTIC: Oils swell plastics, and plastic leaches into oils quicker than into water

HOT/WARM: After foods come off the heat; best added just before eating; hot soups, pasta sauce, cooked veggies, grains, potatoes

COLD: Shakes, smoothies, salads, yogurt, dressings

COMPATIBLE: With all foods: meals, snacks, desserts

FOR FRYING: Use WATER; for light frying, oils with high smoke points (not Udo’s Oil)
