>>In fact, we hear a lot about the ratio of
omega-6 to omega-3 fats, but it is my suspicion that this matters
mainly if one's main source of omega-3 is ALA.  If one is getting
adequate omega-3 in the form of EPA and DHA (mainly animal
sources) then the ratio of omega-6 shouldn't matter that much.<<

Yes, I'm on the same wavelength. Countries like India and Israel that have
substituted Omega-6 oils for their traditional fats, now have very high
Omega 6 to 3 ratios, and also high rates of heart disease and diabetes.

IF one gets adequate EPA and DHA... that's the key. Having been on a very
deficient diet for many years, it may take me some time to fill those
reserves.
