In this recording of The Health Edge, Mark and John discuss the importance of dietary intake and sources of omega 6 and omega 3 fats. An abundance of epidemiological and clinical trials suggest high ratios of O-6/O-3 drive increased inflammation, oxidative stress and are associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Mark and John look at the biochemistry and some clinical trials that support avoidance of processed omega-6 vegetable oils and encourage more whole omega-3 sources.
