The Whole Earth knows that HIV/AIDS has no cure!
No Doctor has ever treated HIV/AIDS. Then it means that whoever commands HIV to leave the Blood of a PATIENT, HE MUST BE FEARED.

PUFA are derived from the essential
fatty acids(FA) linoleic acid and A-linoleic acid
divided into omega 3 or omega 6. Essential
FA , eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) are important in neural development of the fetus and infant.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)are involved in the metabolism of cholesterol, are
components of phospholipids in cell membranes, and are precursors of
biologically active compounds such as prostaglandins, interleukins, and

Biologically active components of food.

NUTRITIONAL.

Foods that are high in added sugar are often low in essential nutrients-vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately,
these foods are often eaten in place of more nutrient-rich
foods. They may prevent us from obtaining essentialtial nutrients and lead to weight gain.

Do you get surprised when you meet a beautiful, well groomed woman carrying her baby who looks malnourished?

Don't be surprised because she thinks giving her baby soda, chocolate, chips, NAN, Pizza & bread is success.

Babies need breast milk, not juice.

If you crave eating stones, soil, mud,

Or, bite nails,

Or, chew wood, pens, clothes,

You are suffering from a condition called PICA. You lack vital micronutrients like magnesium, iron or zinc.
