Dear Adam,

Quite true, but it is the *ratio* of omega-3's to omega-6's which makes
walnuts such a valuable food in this respect.

Oily fish is great for EPA and DHA, walnuts are relatively rich in ALA
(all omega-3's, of course).

I would not want to eliminate omega-6 fatty acids from my diet. It would
be nutritional suicide ;-)

Thanks for the reference.

Cheers,

Persephone
