Reviews
A well-documented resource that can help physicians understand, critique, and contribute to the ongoing discussion about nutrition and health that patients are now having without them., Dr. Lawrence expertly ties together a detailed look at the chemistry of lipids with their roles in both normal human biology and human disease.**Must have reviewer's permission to run any changes**, Lawrence presents a case to revise the recommendations on dietary fats and carbohydrates. The book will be especially valuable for those giving dietary advice or studying dietary recommendations. Highly recommended., Dr. Lawrence's book fills a niche for understanding fat metabolism in health and disease. His work is a valuable reference for practicing physicians, nurses, dietitians, and nutritional counselors.

Synopsis
The Fats of Life delineates the importance of essential fatty acids, with a focus on distinctions between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid variants. The chemical and biochemical characteristics of these fatty acids and their metabolism to a vast array of potent bioactive messengers are described in the context of their potential effects on general health and impact on various diseases and neurological disorders, Omega-3s, trans-fats, polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acid research facts about fatty acids and their relationship to heart disease and atherosclerosis, obesity, cancer, and neurological disorders abound. Chemical names appear on every nutrition label. But, just what do these terms mean in health and disease?

Glen D. Lawrence addresses in detail the capacity for polyunsaturated fatty acids to influence asthma, atherosclerosis, heart disease, inflammation, cancer, and immunity. Lawrence makes clear that our understanding of the biochemical and physiological effects of dietary fats has advanced tremendously as a result of careful research, but he also stresses that this knowledge has not easily translated into sound dietary recommendations., Omega-3s, trans-fats, polyunsaturated fatty acids, linoleic acidùresearch facts about fatty acids and their relationship to heart disease and atherosclerosis, obesity, cancer, and neurological disorders abound.
