Essential Facts About Omega 3 Fatty Acids

The Facts about Omega 6

* Omega 6 is another fatty acid that is important to balance out the intake of omega 3. Primary sources for omega 6 include many oils, meats, and processed foods.
* It has been argued that an imbalance in the intake of omega 6 and omega 3, with the balance tipping towards omega 6 intake, may cause disease. On the other hand, other experts believe that this imbalance is insignificant and that omega 6 fatty acids also have the potential to provide a lot of health benefits that should be looked into further.
* Although not all experts agree on whether or not the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is important, it is widely accepted that an increase of omega 3 fatty acids in your diet can only benefit you.
