UDO ERASMUS, Ph.D.
Udo Erasmus received his Bachelor of Science degree in Honors Zoology with a major in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, followed by graduate studies in biochemistry and genetics.
Poisoned while working with pesticides, Udo turned his attention to the field of nutrition to find the answers doctors were unable to give him. Several years of research led to him write the landmark Canadian bestseller Fats and Oils, which earned him a Ph.D. in nutrition.
He went on to pioneer the technology for pressing and packaging flax and other fresh oils for human consumption with the enhancement of health, rather than shelf life, in mind.
Udo Erasmus has become an internationally recognized authority on the subject of fats, oils, and cholesterol in human health. His current best selling book, Fats that Heal Fats that Kill, contains up to date research on common and lesser known oils with healing potential such as flax, olive, fish, and evening primrose. Over the past fifteen years, Udo has participated in more than 2000 media interviews and lectures, educating audiences across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia on the essential components of good health.
