4.Omega 6 fatty acids as vegetable and seed oils
Omega 6 fatty acid products can become a consistent source of inflammation in the body. As much as they are necessary together with omega 3 fatty acids for the normal growth and development, they are equally pro-inflammatory in much higher quantities while the omega 3 fatty acids are normally anti-inflammatory in their action. Studies were carried out on rats where omega-6 concentrations to omega-3 concentrations were kept at a ratio of 20:1 which showed a remarkable rise of inflammatory markers when their blood was tested for results. Therefore, a balanced amount of these fatty acids is essential for normal growth and development as well as to keep the inflammatory response to a minimum.
