Clearly a product without trans fats and with an eye on the omega three balance has to be positive, and like all things there are no absolute answers
And here for BC sufferers would be my thoughts
1. Many if not most processed food contain vegetable oils which are almost inevitably high in omega six (it is rare they use virgin olive oil because it is expensive, flaxseed because it is sensitive to heat etc - the oils used will be sunflower etc which are high in six).
2. Whilst a small amount of omega six is essential ideally it should be more or less in balance with omega three. If you did not have access to refined oil and got your threes and sixes from green things, things that had eaten green things etc you would have more or less a balance. Green things on average in general terms are more or less in balance in terms of omega three and six.
3. We have been used to that balance for a very long time and so arguably were designed or have adjusted to it.
4. Less is more within sensible limits as far as fat consumption goes.
Enjoyment v strict moderation, maybe better a tiny amount of butter as that has very little omega six and supplement omega three with fish oil (or a vegetarian equivalent) and maybe a little GLA .
You might to search under omega three using search above this is thought provoking

Here is a link I have previously posted that looks at omega three and cardiac issues.
Please discuss significant dietary changes with your advisor. Omega threes may cause blood thinning.
