Saw this on CTV NEWS last night. We have all been told that oil containing Omega 3 is heart friendly but most oil that contain Omega 3 also contain Omege 6 which is heart unfriendly even though one might have normal cholestrol(sp).

Strangely both the American Heart Association and the Mayo clinic disagree with your characterization of the danger posed by Omega 6.

nothing to worry about all that matters is your LDL cholesterol level.
 
but when you google CTV news and Omega 6 the most recent find is from September. Very odd.
This is indeed odd. If not CTV, then it must have been Global, CBC or CityTV, definitely a Canadian station. Anyway, the TV station doesn't matter, the substance of the thread does. Just trying to protect the health of my fellow TERBies (as ungrateful as some seem to be).

You think vaguely saying you saw "something"on CTV that is contrary to The Mayo Clinic is somehow protecting the health of fellow Terbies? You don't really think that any idiot is going to change their eating habits over your anon post?

Admit it, you are a bored attention whore! And be proud of it! Embrace it like Simon embraces his almost-biker look!
 
In reality, most of us get too much omega-6’s in our popular foods. Omega-6’s can be found abundantly in many of our common vegetable cooking oils: soybean oil, sunflower oil, canola oil and corn oil (but not olive oil). They’re also common ingredients in many of the foods we consume, which is why most of us have a heavily imbalanced ratio of omega-6’s to 3’s. Also why you wont find supplements of omega-6 alone ... they are almost always sold in combination omega 3/6/9.
Yes, that is exactly what the TV person said. Finally, someone who actually speaks to the substance of the thread.
 
Many health & " Doctor " shows on t.v. explain that the Omega 3 is the one that helps remove cholesterol & is far better as a pure Omega 3 suppliment than olive oil, as it has both in it. We already get enough Omega 6 in our foods.

I am more than ungrateful, I am saying, as is the American Heart Association, and the Mayo Clinic...that you are, again, full of shit.

This is not the first time you have posted unsourced health information that has turned out to be inaccurate.
