farlaI'm having trouble parsing reality.
The ideal ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 is known to be somewhere below 4:1, with evidence suggesting it's 1:1 and, because the majority of modern food has a ratio above that, you should ideally aim for something more in the range of 1:2+. Additionally, there are a lot more problems with an excess of omega 6 than omega 3. This does not stop the margerine we bought from telling us it has the ideal ratio of omega 6 to omega 3, which is somehow 6:1. I am not sure how that was legal and I am sure whatever the answer is will profoundly depress me. I am not even sure now what on earth the correct answer is because for all I know, all the other people are lying too.
