EFAs give the cell it's proper structure, which helps it to resist disease. Health starts from the cellular level up, and EFAs are essential for maintaining the health and integrity of your cells.

EFAs and cholesterol levels:
Essential Fatty Acids naturally decrease blood cholesterol levels. Reference: Textbook of Medical Physiology, pg. 873.

EFAs and cancer:
Omega 3 fights colon cancer in laboratory studies, according to graduate student Abgela Jordan and colleagues at J.W. Goethe University, Frankfort Germany. “The growth inhibitory effect was most prominent in rapidly proliferating [cancer] cells. They seemed especially effective against COLO-320, the most aggressive of the two cancer cell lines, halting all growth within 72 hours of exposure. This inhibitory effect appears to stem from ‘both growth arrest and apostasies [death of cells].” Reference: Reuters Health, May 24, 1999.

EFAs help ADD:
Purdue University conducted a study which was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. About 40% of children with ADD had deficiencies of EFAs as measured in their blood.
