>What is the ratio of omega 3 to omega 6 in avocado and almonds?

from PPLP Gram Counter, 6:3

almonds, dried, 1 oz:  10.4:0.4
avocado, Haas (whole):  1.9:0

walnuts, english, 1 oz:  31.8:6.8
canola oil, 1 oz:  20.3:9.3

According to that resource, of the oils available, only fish oils have 6:3
ratios where the 0-3s are greater than the 0-6s, and in fact, most of the
others that have 0-3s at all also have enough O-6 to have at least a 5:1
6:3 ratio--iow, they tend to be barely balanced themselves...
