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.
