It was the case of the missing nutrient. The nutrient was essential; it was a nutrient, we human beings needed in order to stay healthy. It started to disappear from our diet
and now is almost gone. Only about 20% of the amount needed for human health and well-being
remains. The nutrient is a fatty acid so important and so little understood that I call it “the nutritional missing link”. Food grade linseed oil & fish oil are the best sources of this special fat – Omega 3 essential fatty acid – which modern food destroys.
