Omega-6 Fatty Acids
Found in corn, soy, sunflower, and other vegetable-seed oils, these “essential” fatty acids are pro-inflammatory and contribute to insulin and membrane resistance. Americans are consuming insufficient omega-3 and too much omega-6. The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 should be 1:1, but the typical American’s ratio ranges from 15:1 to 50:1!
