Udo Erasmus

The King of Healthy Fats

Udo Erasmus is internationally known for his pioneering work on fats, and is one of Boost Daily Vitamins favourite nutrition and health experts. He is an outspoken critic of many of the bad fats and a champion of the good fats.

Fats That Heal Fats That Kill is The Complete Guide to Fats, Oils, Cholesterol and Human Health.

First published in 1986 under the title Fats and Oils, Erasmus' Fats that Heal Fats that Kill speaks out about the so-called enemies of the arteries, identifying and classifying healing fats as required to prevent and reverse many degenerative diseases, along with other nutrients.

In identifying these healing fats, Erasmus also explains how they are turned into killing fats through manufacturing processes, including exposure to heat, light, oxygen and other processes that ensure long shelf life.

These damaged fats become even more dangerous to our health as they go through the processes used in the manufacturing of the foods that contain them.

The news today, thanks in large part to the work of Udo Erasmus, is that trans fats kill. They cause heart disease, cancer, diabetes and a host of others medical conditions.

And not only that, Erasmus has shown us that the EFA’s, the Essential Fatty Acids, are in fact essential to the health and structure of the body and to prevent many health problems.

Essential fatty acid is something you hear quite a bit in today’s news.

Balancing omega 3 and omega 6 is essential to the body’s health. Erasmus goes on to say that this balance is delicate, and when the EFAs are not handled right, they are destroyed.

Udo Erasmus also compiled extremely important information from the scientific research in Fats that Heal Fats that Kill about the therapeutic potential of some then-less-known oils, such as flax, evening primrose and hemp, to name just a few.

Udo's Choice Oil Blend 32-Ounces is recommended for use on a daily basis.

Thanks to the years of research, study and work of Udo Erasmus and other vitamins and health experts like him, governments are now mandating the reduction and elimination of trans fats in food. Manufacturers are required to disclose how much trans fat makes up a product's total fat.

Manufacturers have also come on board for their own self-interest and market their products as Zero Trans Fats in response to public pressure and demand for healthier food —low in bad fats and balanced in good fats — pressure that is in large part due to the work of Udo Erasmus.
