Hi Harrie,

Vegetable oils are used to some extent in some form in most processed foods. Labels do not list the Omega 3 and 6.

Grain fed animals likely the same imbalances as we have, which adds to the problem.

They also breed low Omega 3 grains and take Omega 3 out of oils as processed foods will keep longer.

As the most commonly used oils are high in Omega 6 and industrial processing takes out Omega 3 then most foods with vegetable oils will be high in Omega Six depending on the amount used.

We are seeing that in Omega 6 in the body fat which has increased very significantly in the last 40 years.

One of my cries is for better labelling.

This a useful site.
nutritiondata.com

Others are listed on my resource page.
