Re: The traditional diet of Greece and cancer.
Hi Weety
Thanks for the kind thoughts.
Olive oil has a plant based 3:6 ratio of 1:10. and is about 10% Omega 6, and mainly Omega 9. We can make Omega 9 in the body. The useful parts of olive oil are the antioxidant compounds they contain, so virgin cold pressed is best. Commercial oils may be adulterated with cheaper high six oils - money again - bulking oils to obtain farm subsidies.
You will find info on seeds and nuts here. Nuts are a useful source of minerals.

Please do check out the vitamin D and iodine videos. Many are deficient in both.
Many of us are also mineral deficient due to depletion of minerals in the soil and refining of food, so lots of nutrient dense foods, bone broths, offal etc.
If you eat a lot of grain, fresh ground is better. Stephan regularly blogs on the best way to prepare grains to minimise the substances they contain that inhibit mineral uptake. http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/
