Was the reduction in cholesterol due to the reduction in saturated fat, or, was it due to the increase in Omega-6? I believe that the intent behind this and a lot of other food science studies these days is to create more "nutrients" to make health claims for processed foods. Processed foods already contain an overabundance of Omega-6s, but, they have a deficiency in Omega-3s because they're less stable. By contrast, eating whole foods provides more of a balance of Omega-6 and Omega-3. Refined vegetable oils that are used to make snack foods have a lot of Omega-6. Won't be long before marketers start making health claims for Fritos and Big Macs. Note that they REPLACED saturated fat with Omega-6.

I read where we get so much of Omega 6 that it is detrimental to the body. The claim is that in our diets we are getting 11 to 16 parts of Omega 6. The ratio between Omega 3 and Omega 6 should ideally be a ratio of 1 to 1. You’re right Bob! I read where we get so much of Omega 6 that it is detrimental to the body.

One thing, it must be Neptune Krill oil, not sure if “Super Krill-Omega3” is the same quality. I agree Krill oil is #1, no other fish oil comes close, it is more expensive, but well worth it.

The American diet is so full already of Omega-6s. This is the reason we have a heart disease epidemic in America. What would you expect from the American Heart Association? Action needed is to do everything we can to replace Omega-6s with Omega-3s with a diet high in fish daily to restore our balance of Omega-3s and Omega-6s. Salmon is absolutely the best food source, along with sardines. My new favorite source for Omega-3 supplementation is “Super Krill-Omega3” from Health Resources. I’ve been taking this for 3-months now and I LOVE it. No fishy taste or aftertaste, it’s pure and toxin free and loaded to the gills with Omega-3s. Far superior to ordinary fish oil supplements and much more absorbable. http://www.healthresources.net/itemdy00.asp?t1=Super-Krill-Omega-3 Bob The truth is that it is not Omega-6s but Omega-3s that help the heart.
