I suspect that many of the benefits that we see with omega-3 are because it's balancing out this hyper omega-6 consumption in the population

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

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.

i think the benefits of omega-3s and trials predominantly come because they are imbalancing the omega-6s and a lot of omega-6 problems could be related to the fact that omega-6 and omega-3 share the same synthetic pathways the desaturation elongates enzymes and if you overload your body with omega-6s specifically linoleic acid the polyunsaturated omega-6 18 carbon fat prevalent in seed oils you will inhibit the production of omega-3s in your body
I think the benefits of Omega-3s and trials predominantly come because they are imbalancing the Omega sixes and a lot of omega-6 problems could be related to the fact that Omega 6 and omega-3 share the same synthetic Pathways the desaturation and elongase enzymes and if you overload your body with Omega 6 is specifically linolic acid the polyunsaturated Omega 6 18 carbon fat prevalent in seed oils will inhibit the production of Omega-3s in your body
I think that when you give omega-3 to people it may benefit them because it's giving them something they can't make because most of the population is full of omega-6s
