Omega-6 Fat Anti-inflammatory Recent research suggests that the common perception that omega-3 polyunsaturated fat is anti-inflammatory and omega-6 polyunsaturated fat is pro-inflammatory is incorrect. Results from a new epidemiologic study confirm that omega-6 fat is not pro-inflammatory. In fact, intake of both omega-6 and omega-3 were inversely related to levels of C-reactive protein, a widely used marker of inflammation. Interestingly, the inverse relationship between PUFA intake and CRP was primarily evident in tvhose with low vitamin E intake. Soy oil and most soyfoods are good sources of both PUFA and vitamin E. -Mark Messina jn.nutrition.org/content/early/2013/09/10/jn.113.180943.abstract
