Omega-3, 6, and 9 and How They Add Up

Dow AgroSciences has a web page in regard to Omega-3, 6, and 9s.

It is brief and colorful. Click here to check it out :http://www.dowagro.com/PublishedLiterature/dh_0163/0901b80380163da9.pdf?filepath=omega9oils/pdfs/noreg/010-93037.pdf&fromPage=GetDoc

FYI – Dow AgroSciences as financial ties to canola and sunflower oils as seen here: http://www.omega-9oils.com/

Remember that one of the most important things we can do is to increase our intake of the Omega-3 fats from such sources as fish oil, krill oil or green lip mussel oil – and reduce our intake of Omega-6 fats found in vegetable oils.

Omega-6, Linoleic Acid (LA), is found in corn, soy, canola, safflower and sunflower oil.  The typical American diet consists of too many omega-6 fatty acids.

Teya Skae wrote “Essentially, it is better to take fish oil supplements than to consume mercury-polluted fish (like tuna, swordfish and salmon) to obtain our daily requirement of Omega-3’s. Relying on flaxseed or (worse) canola oil to meet our daily needs of Omega-3’s will not do the job and finally, avoiding all vegetable oils in cooking (which causes oxidization) and keeping nuts/nut butters to a minimum would ensure a healthy ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 which overall should support our brains and bodies in coping with the stresses of daily living.”

I’ve chosen an omega-3 supplement called Moxxor.  I save $10 a month which is a 16.5 % savings using  their auto ship program.  I look at Moxxor as an investment in my health – not just for the present but life long.

One more thing – love the convience of  not having to remember to reorder monthly and that Moxxor is automatically delivered to my front door.  Keep it simple!

To Your Health!
