Omega 3 & Omega 6...

[Guest guest]

What do you folks think of other sources of Omega 3s, such as hemp

oil, borage oil, and evening primrose oil? I believe that hemp has

the highest concentration of Omega 3.

 

I've also heard that we already have alot of Omega 6 in our diets, a

preponderance of it, in fact, and that we should really concentrate

on ingesting more fish and cod liver oil, and the high Omega 3

sources that are veg-based such as hemp and borage. From my reading,

a number of nutritionists believe that the ideal ratio of Omega 3 to

Omega 6 should be 1:1, as it was for our ancestors, and that we are

so outrageously far off of this ideal that we should focus on

increasing Omega 3 in our diets.

 

Does everyone here agree that cod liver oil is best taken by

spoonful? I take about 6 oil capsules a day, which kind of " repeat on

me " unless I break up my doses over the course of a day. Wouldn't

this effect be exacerbated if an entire dose were taken at one

sitting? Is it recommended that digestive enzymes be taken, to ensure

better assimilation, if the " repeat " effect is experienced?

 

I've read the files on Omega 3, BTW...

Cod Liver oil contains vit A and D. Make sure the total amount of each is

not more than what your body needs.
