Omega Balance

"Omega-fatty acids are important to our health, and science now shows that there is more than one type, available from different dietary sources. Professor Tony Hulbert expertly unpacks the science and shares the practical consequences for our dietary choices in this carefully researched and very readable book."

"Omega Balance emphasizes two important concepts that will be new to most of the public. The first is that, in the food chain, both omega-3 and omega-6 originate from plants, with 'seeds' being the dominant source of omega-6 while 'leaves' are the dominant source of omega-3. The second is that, because these fats compete for their position in cell membranes, it is the balance between them in our whole diet that is the important nutritional factor."

"Tony Hulbert's deep dive into Omega-3s is essential reading for the medical community. His 'whole-of-diet' understanding untangles decades of misguided dietary advice and shows just how important a healthy balance of Omega-3s and Omega-6s really is."

"I sort of knew that omega fats were important, but after reading Professor Hulbert's excellent book I now understand just how important they are and why. This is a fascinating read and one that anyone interested in the relationship between health and nutrition will enjoy."

"Omega Balance is a carefully reasoned science book proposing a biological basis for the modern epidemic of several chronic diseases. It is an extremely valuable book to have all this literature reviewed and interpreted all in one place."
