ANSWER -Imbalance of omega 6 to omega 3 fats contributes to inflammation
-Imbalance of fat types can cause cells to become either too rigid and less
responsive (too much saturated fat); or too fluid and vulnerable to oxidation (too

-Processed (hydrogenated) fats are often rancid upon consumption or go rancid
easily upon digestion leading to oxidative stress of cells
-Lack of fats, or poor fats, contributes to poor cellular uptake of fat soluble vitamins:

Coca's Pulse Test - ANSWER 1. Sit down, take a deep breath and relax.
2. Establish baseline pulse for 1 minute. Record in "before" space on Pulse Test

chew, but refrain from swallowing. Taste for 30 seconds. Test individual ingredients
rather than a combination of ingredients-- example: banana vs. banana bread

record. An increase of 6 or more is considered a stressful reaction.
