I still have a question about how to judge how much omega-6 is in a product. I have 3 little children who eat very healthy,lots of fruits and veggies,whole grains,etc. But,who still like to have chips and other snacks sometimes.
I give them lowfat Triscuits,which are whole grain crackers,lots of fiber,no trans fats and only .5 sat fat. But yet, when I looked at the label, the second ingredient was soybean oil. Would these be high in omega-6? Is there a correlation between the amount of sat fat and the amount of omega-6? Are these alot lower in omega-6 than a potato chip that also has soybean oil, but 6 grams of sat fat?
Also, We eat lowfat cheese. It has 5 grams sat. fat, but none of the oils listed in its ingredients. Would that be high in omega-6?
Thanks, Laurie
