Thumbs up Oh, it is Dr. Simopoulos...

She wrote the Omega Diet text. And is a long term (many years) expert on
the subject.

What is new here...is the reference to genetics.

And genetics play an important role. Here in USA many people are now
mixed genetically. And this is growing with time.

Not only are people from around the world intermarrying, but races are now also mixing. This complicates the genetics ALOT.

One may inherit a weakness for sodium maintenance (African decent),
inherit Celiac genes, blood type issues, etc.

There are books out there now that address this issue..
"Your Body Knows Best" by M.L Gittleman is a very good start to explain
how complex this issue really is for health, and diet and ethnicity.

Now that the attention is focusing on removing TransFats...this will help many people, those who do not visit the internet or know about the latest health issues. I just read that Denmark has banned all transfats.

And NY City is trying to accomplish the same thing recently.

Transfats have caused untold misery and health woes for millions.

Thanks for bringing this new paper to our attention, here at this forum!
It is basically a very important fact. So basic that people don't even know about it!
