Purpose
The purpose of this site is to provide resources and keep you abreast of the latest studies focusing on the impact of dietary omega-6 fats on your health.  The pivotal role of omega-6 fats is an important detail often missed in the sensational headline stories of omega-3 fats (fish, fish oil) and even by the scientists themselves! 

Why Dietary Omega-6 Fat Matters 
Just like a car needs the balance of both the gas and  brake pedals  to effectively (and safely) navigate traffic, our bodies need a balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fats.  When there are too many omega-6 fats in our diet it’s sets our body’s on the road to many diseases. Excess omega-6 fats interfere with the health benefits of omega-3 fats because they compete with each other in the body.  Eating too much of omega-6 fat is associated with inflammation, heart attacks, stroke, arrhythmia, arthritis, osteoporosis, mood disorders and cancer.
