I've heard a lot about this stuff most of which is rather vague info so if someone could enlighten me I'd be greatful.

Thanks.
Here is what I do when it comes to EFA(essential Fatty acids):First I don't believe in the benefits of EFA if you don't reduce some of your daily fat consumption especially your saturated fats. For every gram of fat you wish to reduce I take a gram of EFA. I really don't buy too much EFA supplements because I get so much through my diet via: Safflower oil in salad dressings, cooking, Olive oil, different types of fish and even eating cantoloupes. But I do take about 2-3 1000mg capsules of EFA. But becareful with your EFA consumption because taking too many of those supplements will make you shit like crazy. Don't fart if you are a very high EFA diet!
