The American
Heart Association recently included emu meat in its listing of
heart-healthy meats, said Williams, and Barry Sears,
internationally-known author of The Zone recently included emu meat
in his diet recommendations. So, we were hopeful that emu would be
a positive in this study. What we didn't anticipate was emu meat's
nutritional values when compared to other meats.
Emu oil
A number of
studies have been conducted and are currently being conducted
throughout the world on facts of the Emu oil, including its
composition, benefits, applications in different industries and the
resulting properties of compounds formulated with the
oil.
Traditionally
Emu oil has been used for treatment of muscle and joint pains.
Clinical
experience with Emu oil has shown that it's two major benefits are
its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to penetrate the
skin. It also appears to provide some solar protection.
The penetrating
effect appears to be related to its non-phosphorous composition. "
Our skin is phospho - lipid deficient. In other words, there is no
phosphorous in our skin. If you put anything on your skin that has
phosphorous in it, your skin is 'programmed' to keep it from
penetrating. Anytime you put anything on your skin that is
phospholipid deficent, or has no phosphorous, it penetrates right
through ".
Researchers who
have analyzed the oil found that there is a compound in oil that
they believe is the key to its effectiveness. This compound
molecule is believed to be collagen. Collagen is found in chickens
and turkeys in a very diluted form. However, the test result on the
Emu show this molecule to be present in an extremely concentrated
form.
Research and
development of Emu oil using in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals is
rapidly expanding.
Emu oil has been
documented to exhibit the following properties and/or has been used
for the following purposes.
