Re: 17 grams of Omega-6 = Minimum
That's what I was looking for. I read your blog post too. Very interesting. From your point of view, what is the maximum grams of Omega-3 one should take daily from all sources? Does 8 grams of omega-3 daily is too much? I take Life Extension Fish oil : 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening plus the omega-3 from my hemp… -
Re: 17 grams of Omega-6 = Minimum
That's what I was looking for. I read your blog post too. Very interesting. From your point of view, what is the "maximum" grams of Omega3 one should take daily from all sources?

To quote from the post: The exact ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 needed for disease prevention/treatment is… -
Re: 17 grams of Omega-6 = Minimum
On a related note, why is the Omega3 to Omega6 ratio roughly 1:10? Such high ratios (or higher) are only measured in industrial populations and are at least one cause for obesity. Populations which eat mostly unmanufactured, natural food usually have a ratio of 1:4 or lower. When we evolved the ratio was even 1:1 but no…
