Olive oil (virgin) is about 10% six and almost no three. Refined olive oil for some reason is reported as high as 50% omega six (adulteration?).
So high olive oil and no other oils would still result in a three six imbalance.
Inclusion of flax oil (contains no EPA or DHA etc only the mother omega three ALA) helps but if the conversion paths are blocked is only of limited help as a source of DHA.
Quality fish oil production does appear to remove many contaminants from fish oil. I am not sure about all. I have not found an answer. However given that DHA in particular is fundamental to neural function for me the risk trade off is a very acceptable one. (But likely you know more than me on that topic)
Animals fed on grain particularly chicken have a high three six profile.
On an observational basis try this... people with mental issues have said it helps.
Fat testing is an option and is not that expensive and more available in the US. You have to bear in mind body fat only changes slowly. Half life about 600 day.
There is evidence long chain omega three may assist in diabetes.
Please discuss dieary changes with your advisor.
