NO.
On the contrary, flaxseed oil has more v ω-3 than ω-6.
Flaxseed oil: http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/fats-and-oils/7554/2 http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/fats-and-oils/7554/2 RATIO: 43
Salmon oil: http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/fats-and-oils/632/2 http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/fats-and-oils/632/2 RATIO: 23 (allegedly the best fish oil for ω-3)
Cod Liver Oil http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/fats-and-oils/628/2 http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/fats-and-oils/628/2 RATIO: 21.5

- catzaa 17y agoI read the following in wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid): > Flax, like chia, contains approximately three times as much n−3 as n−6. > Oils from these fish have a profile of around seven times as much n−3 as n−6. Obviously WP is not infaliable and needs to be corrected. (I usually drink Flax seed oil because fish oil seems grouse).
