Prof. Cordain, in Paleodiet, says that excessive Omega-6 EFA consumption
is bad, so says not to consume almonds, among many other nuts and oils.
First, does anyone know what the actual amounts are. But what interests
me is the question of whether it's the ratio itself that effects health,
and not the actual quantity of one or the other, alone, that counts. I
like almonds and almond milk, so if it's the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6
EFAs that count, then, if I know the quantity of 6's I'm consuming, I
can be sure to get enough 3's. The other components of almond oil don't
seem to be a problem. And certainly, the almond board of California has
sponsored research showing almonds to be a healthy food.
