Thanks Marejo your thoughts are really appreciated.

I wish I could give you all the answers you seek. If the answers were absolutely known we would all be doing it already!

The point of this thread is simply to try and demonstrate the HUGE importance of balancing the Omega 3s and 6s, and getting a supply of long chain Omega 3 as found in fish oil and oily fish primarily. (And not everybody agrees about that, which is why I simply truly and present the information so you can make up your own mind)

As to dosages there is a lack of consensus. Several suggest between 2 and 3 grams of EPA + DHA a day, but it ranges from 200mg.

Regrettably the same arguments rage over supplements.

Needless to say I would not be going on about omega 3s and 6s if I did not think it was a worthwhile thing to do.
