The "omega-6-heavy oils" makes me think of the work of Dr. Nemechek (https://www.nemechekconsultativemedicine.com/nemechek-protocol/ https://www.nemechekconsultativemedicine.com/nemechek-protoc...), who works primarily with Autism. He found that a variety of brain injuries that of various types (including things like concussion), which historically have resolved themselves, have, in recent years, stopped healing. So a concussion that would have naturally healed a few decades ago, keeps giving the patient problems. One of his primary recommendations is to decrease the "omega-6 to omega-3" oils, because it seemed that omega-6 cause brain injuries not to heal. And it's worth noting that almost all vegetable oils (canola, soybean, etc), which are in almost all "processed foods" are high in omega-6.
This indole-3 link could be the reason why omega-6 oils are so bad.
TL;DR: Don't eat processed vegetable oils (other than coconut and olive oil).
- janekm 4y agoJust be aware that that's a whole lot of conjecture with little solid evidence behind it. Saying "these brain injuries historically resolved but don't any more" sounds much more like a change in diagnostics to me. The evidence against seed oils / processed vegetable oils is not very compelling yet (here's a pretty balanced summary: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/are-vegetable-and-seed-oils-bad#omega https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/are-vegetable-and-seed-... )
- cung 4y agoAm I misunderstanding your comment? Olive oil and coconut oil have terrible omega-6/omega-3 ratio, where as canola is pretty good. https://www.cancerschmancer.org/articles/healthiest-cooking-oil-comparison-chart-smoke-points-and-omega-3-fatty-acid-ratios https://www.cancerschmancer.org/articles/healthiest-cooking-...
