High omega 6 to omega 3 ratio predicts mood disorders in high risk people.

‘Vegetable‘ (seed) oils is very high in omega 6 fats.

Fish oil is high in omega 3 fats (as are wild cold water fish).

The balance of these 2 types of fats is important for many processes in the body.

Of course this study found an association and doesn’t prove cause.

However most people are getting far too much 6 and far too little 3 fats.

This does drive inflammation and other processes that are harmful to the body, including our most important organ – our brains.

We’ve written about other problems with consuming too much omega 6 vegetable oils in many other blog posts.
