Who is Udo Erasmus? 

Udo Erasmus is an international authority on fats, oils, cholesterol and human health.

Udo received his B.Sc. in Honours Zoology from the University of British Columbia and followed this with graduate studies in Biochemistry and Genetics.  In 1980, his life took a significant turn when he was poisoned by pesticides.  When conventional medicine was unable to provide help, he concluded that his health was his own responsibility and turned his attention to nutrition.  Several years of research culminated in his Canadian best-selling book, Fats that Heal Fats that Kill which earned him a PhD in nutrition.

In 1983, he began to pioneer technology for pressing and packaging edible, fresh oils made with health in mind, by excluding the three main factors that can transform nutritious oils into toxic ones - light, heat, and oxygen. Until that time, oils were highly processed by destructive methods, sacrificing health benefits in order to attain longer shelf life.
Over the past fifteen years, he has appeared on nationally syndicated radio and television shows and has given thousands media interviews and lectures, educating audiences across Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Australia on the components of good health. Udo has recently published a guide entitled "Choosing the Right Fats" and presently, Udo continues to develop steps towards optimum health and to work on his next book.
