THANKS FOR THE HEMP SEED OIL

To the Editor,

I enjoyed reading John Yim's column about hemp seed oil, (Top up your
omega 3 oil level, Oct. 9). There is one thing worth adding. Evening
primrose oil, black currant seed oil, borage and hemp seed oil share
gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is only found in five obscure
locations on earth; the fifth is mothers milk. GLA is thought to
contribute to a strong immune system. The daily recommended amount of
hemp seed oil only supplies about four per cent of our needs. I am
thankful I can buy imported Canadian hemp seed oil at my local health
food store, since free American farmers are prohibited from growing
hemp.
