Many sites report the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 EFA's in our diet is
50 to 1 or 25 to 1 because of how our food is grown and processed and
chosen. Also many sites report that the prefferred ratio would be 4
to 1 or 2 to 1.
If one believes the majority of research then one must conclude that the
problem is to consume enough Omega 3 and avoid so much Omega 6.
At the supermarket I observe many persons with a shopping cart that has no
green vegetables, no canned fish i.e. nothing with much Omega 3 in it;
conversely the contents include plenty of foods which have had any Omega 3
removed. Bread, Pasta and etc. Since most meat animals are raised in
small enclosures and fed grains for repid weight gain the meat is very high
in Omega 6 and low in Omega 3.
Butter has some Omega 3; Margerine has trans fats. Few realize that the
last thirty years of research show that trans fats are unwise; but the
public is still told low fat is good while the best research shows that it
is the type of fat not how much that affects health.
I have had a PC for six years now and the explosion of research information
on the internet just in the last year is amazing.
From all that I have read; The wise way to eat is --buy fresh food,
prepare it yourself. Avoid all processed food. For fast food get the
original fast food- apples, grapes, nuts and raw vegetables. Use
expensive eggs, get grass fed beef, supplement with flax seed and oil.
Take vitamin supplements. Canola and Soy are very controversial, wait
ten more years to eat them. If one has cancer; follow Dr. Budwigs
directions carefully.
