Very many thanks Lani for finding that and bringing it to our attention.

It is very exciting, and in humans too. This makes it much more difficult for those who continue to claim Omega 6 does not cause inflammation. (-:.

There have been several animal trial showing big changes in expression of important genes with changes in Omega 3:6 intake.

This is one on mice that shows big alterations of important pathways including HER 2. This was one of the papers that started me on this trail. I had no idea exactly what most of of the genes do and still dont, but the concept that Omega 3 and 6 could have such a big impact at such a fundamental level was intriguing.

There are a number of other mechanisms by which Omega 3 and 6 can play a part in the role of inducing of reducing the risk of a number of cancers.

Thanks again for all you hard work and ceaseless commitment.
