Essential Fatty Acids-Advanced

The most important fact about Omega fatty acids in your diet is.... you must consume them in the proper ratios and most foods today are way out of proportion. The omega 6 to omega 3 ratio needs to be between a 1:1 and 4:1. Omega 3 and omega 6 interact with each other so the balance between them is crucial for good health.

Major Changes Have Happened In The Food Industry
That Has Affected America's Food Supply

The proper, or natural Omega proportion was not a problem until the food industry made some major changes which interfered with our previously "natural" diet. Before the beef industry started feeding cattle in feedlots for six months prior to processing (starting in the 1950's), the omega 6 to omega 3 ratio was 1:1 to 1:2 (natural). Once cattle were taken off grass and fed a feed mixture for fattening, the omega 6 to omega 3 ratio became 20:1(UN-natural). Grass has a near perfect omega 6 to omega 3 ratio, while corn and milo are high in omega 6 and low in omega 3.

This is one example of the changes the food industry has made in the last few decades. Others include farm raised (and farm-fed) fish, growth hormones, medications, genetically engineered fruits & vegetables, and preservatives, just to name a few. Remember, the food industry is dollar driven just like any business, including the medical industry.... and your good health is not part of the equation.
