subtile differences

Look at some of these Omega 6 numbers!

And this is on a so-called healthy diet!

This great data came from here and also here!

Turkey Omega 6 

to 3 ratio!

It's enough to choke a horse.

Chicken is high in Omega 6

Maybe not so healthy, eh?

You couldn't take enough fish oil supplements

to balance that out!

The Tilapia Group

Poor numbers - better ratio, though

Tuna 

REALLY a good source of omega 3?

Maybe just "so-so!"

Better than Ground Beef, at least.

70/30 in this case

Beef is good in the Saturated Fat area -

That's no surprise!

Did you know that TROUT is in the Salmon Family?

Look at the Omega 3!  And Yep - it is!

Red Salmon - eats more krill - 

so they say

Farmed Atlantic Salmon!

High Omega 6 - good ratio

They feed them soy and corn and stuff....

most of which are gmo!!

boo - hiss!

Wild Caught - Alaskan Pink Salmon

The uber gold standard of Omega 3 (they say!)

Keep in mind that the goal is balance:

500 mg  to 1,000 mg  of Omega 3 is recommended.

It is essential, because the body can not make it's own supply.

Not just ALA. (18:3)

But namely DHA(22:6)  and EPA (20:5)

The body can't convert the ALA 

as completely to DHA and EPA! (link)

Ratio of 2:1 Omega 6 (linoleic acid) to Omega 3 would be wonderful!

Most people get about a 20:1 ratio.

And that's on a GOOD diet.  A careful diet.

You read it right. Not good. 

AND no more than 10% total PUFA is recommended.

Some people say at low as 4%!

Hope this info helps!
