Oily fish contains omega 3 and omega 6 so this food source is good. In history, consumption of omega 3 to omega 6 was approximately 1:1. The average American diet is 1:15 meaning 1 part omega 3 to 15 times omega 6. The amount of omega 6 is grossly disproportionate. Sources of omega 6 to eliminate for weight loss and disease prevention include; canola oil (rape seed), sunflower oil, cotton seed oil, safflower oil, corn oil, and sesame oil. Using a splash of sesame oil in stir fried vegetables will not be detrimental but as an oil, eliminate it from the healthy list. Omega 6 fatty acids are very high in the American diet. All processed foods are rich in omega 6. You could not buy processed foods and packaged foods at the supermarket without being in the unhealthy ratio. The imbalance in omega 6 fatty acids causes a wide range of disease. A high omega 6 diet increases diseases including; Crohns, ulcerative colitis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental illness, diabetes II, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. Omega 6 distorts and reduces the good effects of omega 3 fatty acids. Foods Which Contain A Good Balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 in a Whole Food Form Include; Include these every day in your diet.
