Born to Latvian refugees during World War II, Udo’s Choice founder Udo Erasmus grew up in Northern Canada tending the organic garden on his family’s off-grid farm. He studied biochemistry and genetics at university and became a respected researcher. When a pesticide accident seriously damaged his health, he sifted through the scientific literature for solutions and eventually focussed on fats and oils – which led to a Ph.D. in nutrition and his bestselling first book. Dr. Erasmus has since become a leading authority on the health benefits of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, developing optimal blends of flax, sunflower and sesame oil as well as manufacturing methods to maximise nutritional value.
