w-3 w-6 competition
by Vance MacThamhais 16 y
Both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have to compete for enzymes in order to produce their final product. Studies have reported that the enzymes used in these pathways were found to prefer the omega-3 pathway. It turns out then that in diets high in omega-3 fatty acids, most of the enzymes will be converting the omega-3 acids.
The omega-6 fatty acids, Dihommogamma-Linoleic Acid (DGLA) in particular, can be converted to either the anti-inflammatory PG1 or into arachidonic acid (AA), a precursor of PG2. Conversion of DGLA into PG1 does not require any enzymes, but conversion of DGLA in ...

It is an absurd statement to say that most fish oil is rancid....As absurd is to recommend an oil with omega 3, 6 and 9. That is ridiculous...
The main reason to take omega 3 is to balance for the enormous quantities of omega 6 our modern foods have, and now you are going to add more omega 6 with your supplement. Non sense.
You should only take supplements with omega 3, not omega 6 or 9. Those last will make you fatter and less healthy.

Re: FAT theory
by Rick67 15 y
Our bodies need a lot more Omega 6 (Linoleic Acid) then Omega 3 (Alpha Linolenic Acid). The ratio should be around 3:1 or 4:1.
The so-called ”experts” tell us we’re getting too much Omega 6 in our diet and that we need to take more Omega 3. The problem is the Omega 6 most people are getting in their diets is junk Omega 6 and the Omega 3’s most people are taking is made up of mostly Omega 3 derivatives.
I recently discovered I was getting almost no Omega 6 in my diet. I’m now taking Hemp oil which contains almost the perfect ration of Omega 6 to 3 (3:1).

You are getting an excess amount of bad omega’s. This can be related to peanut allergies.

From what I read, the combination of the good Omega’s (3/6/9) and promoted the keeping of the bad omega’s from the peanuts, which produced what you describe.
So I immediately stopped both (I do occasionally still take Omega 3/6/9 s),

If you want to follow the omega 3 advice then it is best to get it from fish oils. It is also available from vegetable sources but these also contain omega 6. Research would indicate that omega 6 is difficult for the body to break down and in doing so it inhibits the absorption of omega 3. Some reports indicate that only only a few percent of omega 3 from flax oil is metabolised. Too much of this oil and you will get loose stools.

Omega 3 has what brain needs the most and suppresses the appetite. Try cooking with organic virgin cocanut oil or olive oil or don’t use oil with cooking at all. Research why omega 3 is important.

Grass fed beef has omega 3/6 ratios at 1:2, while grain fed beef has ratios of 1:4. Given that grass fed beef is more natural, can we not assume that their omega 3/6 balance is optimal at 1:2?
I understand that hemp oil has omega-3/6 ratios of 1:3. Wouldn’t it me more optimal to reach a 1:2 ratio, especially since some people consume more omega-6s from various and/or unexpected sources at times? A typical American diet of omega-3/6 is 1:14 to 1:25 according to the University of Maryland Medical Center Web site.

- Multifunctional: You can make butters, pasta, etc, which you cannot with the Vert
- Time-Tested
advantages of the Vert over the 8006:

- The juicing process is faster

By the way, I’m getting really confused as to whether i should get flax seed oil or black currant seed oil or perhaps both. Apparently having a 2:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is ideal. However, given most people’s diet nowadays, there’s a lot more omega-6 to omega-3 consumed. So, do you think consuming flax seed oil is better because there’s a high omega-3 to omega-6 ratio to balance the already high amount of omega-6 consumed?
