The point is this: what is removed consistently from almost all of our processed food sources is the ALA you need for health, along with both oil-and water-soluble vitamins and other essential P57 hoodia nutrients that were designed by nature to protect the seed until it could germinate. And they do this job very well in the whole food, if left alone. But they don't keep well processed, packed and on the shelf so, in our convenience-led processed food, you don't get them. You'll get some vitamins back in cereals and spreads that have them added, though not all you need. But one essential that never seems to be returned is ALA, which is why over 80% of people in the West are seriously deficient and suffer poor health accordingly.

'Getting Your Omegas' -- Sources of slimming factor

In the past, people got ALA from green vegetables, some nuts and seeds and a variety of oils, but principally flax and hemp seed and oil. These were a Northern European staple, eaten both as seed and as the pressed oil. Both are still used today in Europe and North America -- as cattle feed, to keep dairy herds healthy in winter. It's surprising that the vital connection between animal and human nutrition wasn't made until the 1980s! Now you can get it again from health stores and most big supermarkets. It's expensive compared to refined oil, but you don't need much; just a few grams a day.
