[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 860868, member: 12578"] You might like to read these 2 articles. one from Mark Sisson and the other from a workshop set up by the FSA in the UK Though from very different perspectives, they come to similar conclusions One of the major conclusions of the workshop was :" Based upon theoretical and scientific grounds (described earlier), use of the [I]n[/I]-6:[I]n[/I]-3 fatty acid ratio to estimate CVD risk should be abandoned " [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2755100/[/URL] From Mark Sissons "It appears as if the problem with low ratios of omega-3 to omega-6 is the lack of omega-3, not so much the omega-6. In studies that replace saturated fats with omega-6 fats, the only ones that show benefit are those that also include omega-3s with the omega-6s, while those that replace SFA with just omega-6 increase the risk of death. As long as you’re eating enough fish and other seafood, pastured animals and their fat (and eggs), and/or high quality fish oil supplements, whole food sources of omega-6 shouldn’t increase inflammation. The ratio is a helpful way to monitor your omega-3 and omega-6 intake, but it’s not a physiological law" ( NB being in Europe, t most of our beef and dairy comes from cows that graze on grass for much of the year; unlike the big US feedlot fed animals; ) [URL]http://www.marksdailyapple.com/why-the-omega-3omega-6-ratio-may-not-matter-after-all/#axzz3bDumRp65[/URL] If everyone ate the 2 portions of oil fish a week recommended then that would have some benefit and obviously alter the balance within the diet as a whole ; at the moment in the UK 7/10 don't eat any so the average person eats less than a third of a portion a week [/QUOTE]
