I hate being repetitive but on the omega three six issue I read a report in a Zone diet book on inflamation on a patient with brain tumours who had been given high fish oil dosages and fared apparently much better than the other people undergoing the same treatment.
The brain has a very high proportion of fatty acids, and I have seen it reported that if the body is short of DHA it inserts a less effective omega six derivative. I have seen it suggested that it is a bit like using the wrong knid of building block in places - it works just not as well.
A trial I skimmed where mice had been deprived of DHA /EPA showed that when it was reintroduced into their diet it was very quickly absorbed into the brain.
May be something to check out for yourself and discuss with your advisor.
