What's the Optimal Omega Ratio?

Think you might be gluten sensitive? Take the quiz: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/glu... So, if it is important to keep the ratio of omega 3 to omega-6 in balance, what is the optimal ratio? Well, if we look to our ancestors to see how they ate based on the availability of food (and the lack of processed and industrialized food), we see that consumption of the two types of fatty acids was fairly even. Anthropological researchers who have studied diets throughout history found that diets were rich in seafood and other sources of omega-3 long chain fatty acids EPA and DHA and relatively low in omega-6s, as the only available sources were things like nuts and seeds. This research suggests that our hunter-gatherer ancestors consumed omega-6 and omega-3 fats in a ratio of roughly 1:1. So how does this historic ratio of 1:1 compare to what the average American consumes today? Unsurprisingly, there has been a massive shift. Research suggests that the typical diet today results in an omega 6:3 ratio that averages about 16:1. But don’t think you need to completely overhaul your diet. There isn’t any research that suggests that a 1:1 ratio is optimal. Instead, most experts agree that a ratio of 4:1 is an ideal target for the general population of adults and children. Even lower ratios of 2:1 or 3:1 have been shown to provide added benefit in the case of certain conditions like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma.
