Omega 3 and Omega 6, the balancing act

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

For those of you who wish to learn more about Omega 3 and Omega 6 balancing (both short and long chain versions) and how this effects health I would highly recommend this site and the free KIM software that is DWIDP like but focuses on obtaining the ideal ratio of the various forms of both Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.

KIM:

Kim allows you to explore what happens to tissue / cell membrane ratios of the various Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, the eicosanoids that are generated from the fatty acids and how these eicosanoids alter cell behaviour for the better and the worst as you vary the dietary intake of various Omega 3 and Omega 6 rich foods.

Years ago I did hope that DWIDP would someday include this vital information. Hint, hint .
