Good information. I believe one mechanism for this may be that Omega 6 causes inflammation and Omega 3 reduces inflammation.

Just one thing I always point out - well 2.

Mass produced eggs are full of Omega 6 from the corn and soy feed laying hens are fed. Eggland at least recognizes this and boosts Omega 6 in their eggs.

Free range eggs are much better, and hens not fed soy or corn at all are best. But unless you grow your chickens how would you know? I think the color gives away the better omega 6 content.

Another rabbit hole is Folic Acid. It is in everything. Limits for adults are 400 micrograms per day. Excess Folic Acid causes all kinds of trouble including headaches. If you are my FB friend I wrote about this the other day.

Anyway, yeah, watch your eggs and folic acid intake.

Thanks :)

Yes. Folate is the proper supplement, right?
