[QUOTE="dunelm, post: 2166782, member: 179219"] I think that maybe you could look at a couple of things; Ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 that is good for you (some people say 4:1, some 1:4 but I would probably hanker for 2:1 as you need that sort of ratio on transmitter and receptor cells in brain and central nervous system - you could also look up myelin if you really have nothing better to do). Can a human chemistry set convert ALA (alpha linoleic acid found in plant based oils) into useable EPA and DHA The three common omega fats are; Omega-3 - double bond on 3rd and 4th carbon atom - ALA in plants and EPA and DHA in animals - we are rubbish at using ALA as our chemistry set can’t easily convert it to yummy EPA and DHA. Omega-6 - Linoleic Acid - too much of this makes you fat and processed food is chocker block with it. Omega-9 - Oleic acid - think olive oil - nice - but not really germain to the Omega-6 to Omega-3 balance. I use fats from the following: Butter Lard Duck fat Olive oil. [/QUOTE]
