What are essential fatty acids and how much do you need? What's in it for people with diabetes? Here's a fact — the role of omega-3 in the prevention of diabetes and certain types of cancer is gaining attention.

What's more, many low-fat, raw vegans, and plant-based eaters know that leafy greens are a good source of the omega 3 essential fat ALA. They are also informed that the two other omega 3 fats [EPA and DHA] are extremely important for the body. The thing is, plants don’t have them. But with an optimal diet and other appropriate conditions, the body can make adequate amounts of EPA and DHA from the essential fat ALA.

Still, it's good to ask. . How do fruits and vegetables give you enough essential fatty acids? And what are the specific foods? Dr. Rick Dina has answers.
