The following extensive study was
carried out to determine
how essential fatty acids (EFAs) affect athletic performance and
general well being, and what role EFAs play in decreasing cardiovascular
risk factors.
The source of EFAs used in the study is a special blend of carefully
chosen, natural unrefined oils, known as Udo's Oil Blend, which was
formulated by Dr. Udo Erasmus, internationally recognized authority
on the subject of fats and human health.
The study was carried out by Oscar
Umahro Cadogan, a sports and
fitness expert from Denmark, and nutritional consultant to some of
Denmark's top national athletes. Mr. Cadogan works in close association
with Ivor de Lima, coach to some of the best boxers in Northern Europe,
including current and former world champions.
Mr. Cadogan is an external
lecturer for the Danish Institute of Optimal Nutrition, the Danish
School of Heilpraktik, and the Danish Open University. He is also
a member of a group of experts commissioned by the Danish Dietetic
Association to establish better eating habits for future generations.
