It’s the QUANTITY that is the problem.
I think most people here and others would agree that the average American diet consumes about 20 times more omega 6 than needed. Most research and studies say its about 20 to 1 omega 6 to omega 3. Some even higher, some lower. Processed and ultra processed food is packed with omega 6. Even healthy food, like most salad dressing is loaded with omega 6.
Proponents repeat that “Omega 6 is necessary for the human body. You must consume omega 6.” In all these statements I never see a “quantity” mentioned.
So, water is good for you. Even neccassary for life. Without water you will die. You need water. Would more water be better?
How about 10 times better? That would be about 8 gallons of water a day.
Ah, too much of a good thing can turn bad. Hyperhydration or Dilutional hyponatremia or Water Intoxication. All the same. Too much water.
Symptoms: Nausea, vomiting and bloating. Confusion, seizure and coma. It can also be fatal.
But how can this be? Water is good for you, right?
It’s all in the QUANTITY.
Now back to omega 6. What is too much and stops being good for you?
20 times?
15 times?
10 times?
5 times?
2 times?
The average American is at 20 to 25 times omega 6 compared to omega 3.
Edit: Please post corrections, suggestions to this to make this better or if you think of a better analogy to use. Just trying to come up with a simple way to get this across to the average clueless person.
