Who is Udo Erasmus?
For almost two decades, Udo Erasmus has dedicated his time to understanding the effects of fats and oils on human health, as well as the nature of health itself. Most of his more recent days have been spent on the road, spreading the message about this largely misunderstood, but vitally important, subject. He pioneered technology for pressing and packaging fresh oils under exclusion of light, heat, and oxygen - three main factors which can transform nutritious oils into toxic ones. Until that time, oils were highly processed by destructive methods, sacrificing health benefits in order to attain long shelf life. Originally, he worked with flax oil, and later added sunflower, sesame, and other oils to address the main shortcoming of flax oil - its high omega 3 and poor omega 6 fatty acid content, which can result in omega 6 deficiency.He has written two ground breaking books: Fats and Oils, and Fats That Heal Fats That Kill, and has now almost completed his third, Fats That Heal Fats That Kill: The Kitchen Guide, co-written with Usha Menard.

Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill : The Complete Guide to Fats, Oils, Cholesterol and Human Health
Udo Erasmus' in-depth look at the oil industry and the processes that turn healing fats into killing fats is unequaled. Learning about these processes is essential to understanding why we must make certain food choices to prevent and even reverse degenerative diseases including heart disease, cancer and diabetes. In "Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill," Erasmus has far surpassed his original best-selling work, "Fats & Oils."
