	ScienceDaily: Saturated fat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain (hence, they are fully saturated with hydrogen atoms).
		Fatty acid -- A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid (or organic acid), often with a long aliphatic tail (long chains), either saturated or unsaturated.
		Trans fat -- A trans fatty acid (commonly shortened to trans fat) is an unsaturated fatty acid whose molecules contain trans double bonds between carbon atoms.

	Types of Food -- Protein, Carbohydrates, Fats, Alcohol
		Humans' bodies can make use of all the amino acids they extract from food for synthesizing new proteins, but the inessential ones themselves need not be supplied by the diet, because our cells can make them ourselves.
		All eight essential amino acids must be part of one diet in order to survive and are needed in a fixed ratio.
		By mixing foods that are rich in some amino acids with foods that are rich in others, one can acquire all the needed amino acids in sufficient quantities.

	Jojoba oil in the March 2004 issue.
		It is required by the body to use oxygen and the metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates.
		Folic acid is required for DNA synthesis and cell growth and is important for red blood cell formation, energy production as well as the forming of amino acids.
		Folic acid is essential for creating heme, the iron containing substance in hemoglobin, crucial for oxygen transport.

	Natural Palm Oil \| Wilderness Family Naturals
		Palm Kernel Oil has a similar fatty acid breakdown as coconut oil which makes it good oil, yet it is much different than oil made from the fruit.
		The unsaturated fats in Natural Red Palm are predominantly oleic acid, which is the main type of fat in olive oil.
		C16:1 means this fatty acid is a chain of 16 carbon atoms with 1 double bond)

	X Factor
		Ingredients: AA Oil (a proprietary blend of arachidonic acid, pamitic acid, linoleic acid, y-linolenic acid, dihomo-y-linolenic acid, myristic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, lignoceric acid, and other fatty acids), gelatin, glycerin, water, caramel color, and carob.
		X-Factor relies on the body’s ability to convert arachidonic acid to active prostaglandins in order to be effective.
		• Avoid the regular consumption of foods known to be high in omega 3 fatty acids or anti-inflammatory nutrients, such as cold-water fish, peanut butter, and sesame, olive or peanut oils.
