Those two double bonds, while they seems insignificant, it causes the body to make two whole separate classes of endocannabinoids, PGE, COX and other inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators.

- netizen-936824 5y agoYes I'm aware how fats change the function of cells, that's exactly what I said in my previous comment. The only thing actually special about omega3/6 is that they are essential fatty acids meaning that we can't biosynthesize them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fatty_acid https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fatty_acid But the thing is that all fatty acids can do these things, that was my point. Yes we need omega3/6 as precursor for some other compounds but that doesn't somehow make them special in such a way that they have anything to do with the subject at hand that we are posting on.
