Résumé :
|
Since the publication of the bestselling second edition, mounting research into fatty acids reveal new and more defined links between the consumption of dietary fats and their biological health effects. Whether consuming omeaga-3 to prevent heart disease or avoiding trans fats to preserve heart health, it is more and more clear that not only the quantity but also the type of fatty acide play an important role in the etiology of the most common degenerative diseases. Keeping abreast of the mechanisms by which fatty acids exert their biological effects is crucial to unraveling the pathogenesis of a number of debilating chronic disorders and can contribute to the development of effective preventive measures.
