Patrick Malone Sat, 12 May 2012 20:25:36 +0000 http://theconsciouslife.com/?p=150#comment-13951 Hi Josh, Do not - do not - do not even attempt a 6/3 ratio of 2:1 ... it is common and a terrible practice. You want just exactly the opposite; something that looks like 1:1 or 1:2 (between that range is closest to normal, though slightly more is suggested in pregnant or breast feeding women). There is no controversy - there is only a great deal of misleading / misunderstood information circulated as fact. There is a lot to get through, but I would suggest reading my recent journal publication as I do an extremely thorough review of the literature as well as present new information that willl help you. Cheers! http://sgo.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/04/11/2158244012444281.full Hi Josh,

Just checked the label on my fish oil capsules and find they also contain a small amount of omega 6! I've also discovered that omega 9 is made in the body. I feel a little stupid.

I take omega 3 fish oil capsules, but my diet is vegetarian apart from egg whites. I ingest no oils, nuts, seeds, apart from flax seed meal, or dairy. Do I need omega 6 and 9?

Soy is not the health food it's made out to be. See http://www.westonaprice.org/soy-alert If you can't get or tolerate high quality raw cow's or goat's milk, then almond milk is probably a better choice, though I doubt it has the nutritional value of animal milk.

Do you know what else activates this system? Phyto-Cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis. Dig deeper.
