What Happens When We Don't Get Enough Good Fats?

The short answer is: Every part of the body gradually deteriorates and
falls apart. No cell, tissue, gland, or organ can function normally
without them. Here is a longer list:

• Dry skin
• Constipation
• Low energy levels
• Brittle hair and hair loss
• Poor nail growth
• Deterioration of liver and kidneys
• Behavioral changes due to brain deterioration
• Glands dry up
• Immune system deteriorates, resulting in more infections, poorer wound healing, and increased cancer
• Digestion problems, inflammation, bloating, allergies, autoimmune conditions
• Bone mineral loss
• Reproductive failure: sterility in males and miscarriage in females
• Retarded growth of children
• Tingling in arms and legs due to nerve deterioration
• Vision and learning problems
• Insulin resistance
• Increased risk of overweight
• Increased cancer risk
• Increased cardiovascular risk
• Decreased ability to cope with stress
• In mental illness, increased symptoms
• Decreased lung function
• Decreased tissue oxidation
