Re: oil necessary for the body?

You can develop BIG problems if your diet is lacking in fats...in addition to the problems with digestion and inadequate lubrication...keep in mind that most vitamins are fat-soluble and also the brain and nervous system depend on lipids for healthy functioning. Getting the right source of fats is the key...olive oil is very good, as is fish oil...do some research on the importance of essential fatty acids...mercola.com is a good source to start with.
