HI Unregistered,

Yes you are right this is a half finished sentence presuming knowledge, and not very clear.

Sorry I was in a rush.

COX2 is an enzyme which is used to make two separate families of chemicals one from long chain omega 6 fat and one from omega 3 fat.

The omega six chemicals produced are in very general terms inflammatory.

An imbalance of Omega 3 and 6 with excess of Omega 6 arguably leads to inflammatory pressures in the body.

In the sense omega 6 is a raw material of inflammatory chemicals it is a precursor - less raw material = less product.

There is more information in the Greek Diet thread which is primarily about omega 3 and 6.
