Ok. Bit confused on the whole oil thing. I understand that the ratio should be good. So does that mean that all the negative effects of o3 can be overcome just eating more o6? In other words if you have a dreadful diet but take a shed load of o6 supplements all will be good? Seriously dim!
And thanks again cherry. Love all your threads and most especially the way you give links to research. Great job, please dont stop.x
Hmm clearly not explaining myself well

totally back to front !
" In my opinion"
Omega 3 is GOOD _ though no doubt " within reason " like all things as per this article

Omega 6
You need some Omega 6 but not that much - the best type is CLA - which comes, for example from grass fed beef.
You don't need polyunsaturated seed oils that are pro-inflammatory the proportion of which has grown dramatically in recent years - increasingly so with the vilification of saturated fat.
Omega 3 "neutralises" Omega 6 - so you can mitigate the effect of Omega 6 inflammation by increasing Omega 3- hence the availability of Omega 3 fish oil supplements.
Whether in practice Omega 3 supplements work - I seriously question . If in fact all it is is a soluble case that holds real codliver oil so you don't actually have to taste it , then yes should work. But a poor diet will produce a 30;1 ratio of Om 6 to Om 3 and VOLUME is important - as per the research above you want enough Om3 not a shedload of it to offset a shedload of Om 6.
However all too often supplements are touted to resolve particular issues and usually their benefits prove to be nothing or detrimental
In my view , the answer is to eat REAL FOODS that limit Omega 6 , and include more Omega 3 REAL foods as necessary to offset the Omega 6 . hence taking actual cod liver oil, and eating actual cod livers .
"In my opinion " every household provider should have something like cronometer on their PC or phone. Its free, its easy to use and within a few days you can easily understand what level of nutrients your family is getting from the food you are eating and start to make adjustments that will improve the health of your family. Nearly everyone has a set of scales and a thermometer, why not a blood glucose monitor and a nutrient program? We are all computer iterate to an extent today .
No one needs to go to the lengths I am doing, but one hour a week spent thinking about nutrition is probably the greatest gift any parent can give to their family.
