i have a lot of problems with a ratio i think it doesn't make any sense partly because it presumes that the omega sixes actually are bad and they really aren't

We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
the ratio i mean the the concept well we haven't got that much time um it makes some sense it's just it's very non-per imprecise because when you say omega-3 you don't know what you're talking about ala epa or dha it could be any of them and when you say omega-6 you don't really know there's seven there may be omega-6 fatty acids in the blood which ones you talking about and so it's you don't know what this ratio it's not you can't act upon it because you don't know what you're acting upon the other problem is you can have a a high omega-3 intake and a high omega-6 intake or low omega-6 and a low omega-3 and have the same ratio so that doesn't help because the problem is that you can fix a bad ratio by taking more omega-3 and that's the right way to do it but you cannot fix it and improve your health by leaving your omega-3 intake alone and just lowering your omega-6 which that ratio tends from people tend to do that they think well that's i gotta fix it well the way to fix it there's only one way to fix it's a good way to fix this to eat more epa dha that's fine if you want to play that ratio game and fix it that way okay but don't take it any further than that
