In turns out that flax seed oil has 6 times more omega-3's than fish oil. It is the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 that is important, a Western diet typically gets a ratio between 10:1 and 30:1, an ideal ratio is 3:1 to 5:1. Dietary sources of omegas-6 are whole grain cereals, eggs and poultry, nuts and baked goods instead of eating less omega-6 consume more omega-3.<a target="blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid"> Wikipedia:Omega-3</a><br><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://riversoap.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RS&Category_Code=S"><b>Click Here to see our Natural Soap Products</b></a></p>River Soap WebLognoreply@blogger.com
