A member asked:
I was wondering are people living in north america at risk for essential fatty acid deficiency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Supplementing with an OTC product such as Flax Seed OIl, Evening Primrose Oil can help replace the essential fatty acids lacking in the diet. It is always best to try to get the essential fatty acids from food sources before supplements. Walnuts, broccoli, olive oil , eggs, salmon are a few sources.
