RB My book 'Omega Six The Devils Fat' finished at last
MY BOOK !! at long last.
VERY scary - I have taken some quite big risks. This is the first mainstream book with an Omega 6 based title and hesitantly treads new ground.
Three years and much nerding later, my book on Omega 6 and Omega 3 is complete and available.
It is currently no 24 in Amazons hot new release list which is hopeful as no publicity work has been done yet. I am still waiting for the subtitle to be included in Amazon.com which should help.
http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Six-Devi...2744143&sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Omega-Six-De...2744475&sr=1-1
SEARCH INSIDE is enabled.
Thank you for all your comments and questions over time as they have help drive the research that resulted in the book.
It is much more general and wide ranging than the subject matter I post here.
The book is due to be launched in the UK on the 16th hopefully. At the moment there are problems with the google search / amazon label as it comes up under poor food. Very curious.
WEB site
Omegasixthedevilsfat.com
The author and preface sections will be opened at the time of the launch. You can get in early the user name is RAB and the password press 1.
Many thanks for all you kind words and support over the time I have been posting, it has been really appreciated. Your questions have been a big part in forming the book, and the book would not have existed had I not started posting here - so many thanks Jo and Christine.
RB
Synopsis
The Devils Fat is a book everybody should read. The Omega Three and Six essential fatty acids families, (EFAs), are particularly fundamental to female health. Omega 6 is the sibling of Omega 3. If Omega 3 is the mistress, Omega 6 is the master. Omega 6 arguably links us to the fertility of the environment. The impact of EFAs on health, body structure, and function are little understood by the general public. Omega 3 and 6 alter behaviour. This book looks at pressing issues in society from an Omega 3 and 6 viewpoint including the impact of excess Omega 6 on health costs, for individuals and nations, in a competitive world. Issues examined include; western inflammatory conditions, such as ADHD, asthma, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, and neurological disorders like dementia and Alzheimer's, as well as fertility, early puberty, obesity, sleep quality, gender identity, alcohol consumption, and behavioral trends such as aggression, self harm, suicide, and criminality. The book tries to be both understandable to the general public, and sufficiently authoritative to interest a doctor. Well over 800 references are made to trials and reports.There is no other book in the mainstream market that examines the importance of Omega 3 and 6 in human health, in such detail or breadth.
A female librarian said the book was fascinating and difficult to put down. Another female reader said the central message was very clear, and was applied to everyday issues of interest. Robert Brown is a lay person. Robert had to understand the subject matter from scratch. He takes the reader on his search to understand the why EFAs are so important to health. The book contains a wealth of information. It is split into small indexed topic sections for browsing. There are no commercial links. Excess Omega 6 has more profound and wide spread impact than smoking. It is insidious. Most of us have no idea that excess Omega 6 is anything but good for us - we are told eat more polyunsaturates. Vegetable oils can contain 70% Omega 6 and no Omega 3. The influence of excess Omega 6 is from conception to grave. The neatest of twists is that you are programmed to store Omega 6 in your body fat. Why the Devils Fat? The Devil is traditionally linked with the number 666. Omega Six 18:2 n6 has lots of links with 6s.It is eighteen carbon atoms long, and the 1st. double bond is at the 6th carbon. Excess Omega 6 promotes the seven deadly sins, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, envy, pride, and sloth.
Trials show excess Omega 6 and lack of 3 increases male behavioural traits like aggression, impulsiveness, self interest, and less cooperative behaviour. At the same time 6 reduces female traits. Omega 6 increases risks of western illnesses. If the Devil (real or construct I leave to you) had wanted to promote the seven deadly sins, he or she could not have found a better way. Omega 6 in excess allows us to turn ourselves into dumber, sicker, more aggressive, impulsive, selfish, humans, which arguably is not the best mix for a long term sustained future, on an increasingly crowded planet. Excess Omega 6 sets the body into a permanent low level inflammatory state. The body is put on constant alert. In time, incomplete sleep, permanent stress, and excess inflammatory Omega 6 chemicals, with a lack of Omega 3, lead to greater risk of the western inflammatory conditions. A lack of Omega 3 and excess of Omega 6 is arguably a core explanation for growing rates of western conditions. The book explains why.Omega 3 and 6 cannot be compared to ginseng or green tea.
Omega 3 and 6 were in the earliest design or evolutionary specifications list, and feature in many of the body processes, and most of the structures. Omega 3 helps define women. Women make 10 times more long chain Omega 3 DHA, than men. Omega 3 the mistress, moderates, calms and controls the master Omega 6. Without a balance of both the Omega 3 and 6 fats there is no harmony. |

Wow!
Congratulations RB! I will be sure to get a copy. I may not always understand all of the lingo, but I have benefited from your many posts.
When you become rich and famous can we say we "knew you when"?
Don't be a stranger. We still need your wisdom here on the board.
Hope it is a best seller!!

Congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well done I know that your postings made me realise how important it is to minimise omega6 intake and that it was insidious indeed in our diet. I knew that inflamation and cancer are bed partners..but you made me understand where to look for a major guilty factor..thank you.

Oooh!
Yin and Yang of omegas! Fascinating. You have given me a whole new appreciation for what I have been trying to balance. 
Was buying eggs in Trader Joe's today and always get the ones with less fat and more omega 3.
I will order your long-researched book very soon.

Many thanks for all your kind words and thoughts.
There are discounted copies in the UK so I expect there will be some in the US too soon.
It is at the top of the Omega 3 and 6 searches in books on Amazon UK and more surprising has moved between the mid 20s and 40s in the hot upcoming new books - so it is now officially at least for a day or so (: in the best seller category.
It is officially launched on the 16th and available form the 11th. Press copies went out on Saturday.
It genuinely only came about in large part through posting on this site and the journey that the posts took me on - so a large part of the credit for the existence of the book is yours.

"So, what is the healthiest ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6?"
That is one of those heavily debated questions to which there is no absolutely right answer - opinions seems to range between 4:1 and 1:4, with 1:2 Omega3:6 being an average maybe. I would be a cautious 1:1 on the basis that it is more likely to end up lower due to hidden omega 6, but there is no `right' answer to that.
The book remarkably does seem to be selling to date largely on word of mouth and did make the Amazon `best seller' upcoming book list as high as the late 20s over the weekend in the UK. I am amazed grateful and anxious as to what I may have got wrong (And I have found a few more typo's (red face)).
Thank you all for your kind words and support.
