Humans require n-3 and n-6 fats in our diet. These tended to be consumed in equal ratios until the advent of vegetable oils which increased the n-6 intake dramatically. As the other post mentions, research has found that this intake pattern leads to high levels of inflammation, which contribute to cardiovascular disease and other ailments.
