Over time I've become suspicious of Omega Quant reports. I've been using them for about 5 years. When I had a MI I had some really wacky numbers, especially AA: EPA 42. High N6 and very low N3. After that I started in earnest with LA out of my life. Reports better toward "optimium " range without fish oil or fish. Finally, my last report was absolutely a stunner......everything in the green. I wonder if the Omega 6:3 "normalized" by smoldering inflammation and O3 bolstered by supplements. Just a thought given that I have plenty of aches and pains. Say it ain't so Joe!

Yes, it would make sense. I just found another paper that looks at lipids in CVD, and found that it's associated with higher SFA and MUFA, just like this experiment.

This a nice paper. I noticed attention to “paradox” with comments about oleic acidfattens animal experiment but considered healthy for human using “meditteranran” diet. Brad Marshall could be on track with this.
