1 of 4 Dr. Bill Lands on Cardiovascular Disease: Omega-6 displaces Omega-3

http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=40307&st=0&p=399069&...
William E.M. Lands (born July 22, 1930) is an American nutritional biochemist who is the world's foremost authority on essential fatty acids. Lands graduated from University of Michigan in 1951 and served on the faculty there from 1955 to 1980. He then moved to University of Illinois (1980-1990) and subsequently the National Institutes of Health (1990-2002), where he served as the Senior Scientific Advisor to the Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Lands is credited for discovering the beneficial effects of balancing the effects of excess omega-6 fatty acids with dietary omega-3 fatty acids. The effect of essential fatty acids on formation of hormones is documented in his book, "Fish, Omega-3 and Human Health." University of Michigan's Department of Biological Chemistry endowed a Lectureship in honor of William E.M. Lands.

Actually it is old news but apparently still not heard in the hallowed halls of academia. Not the kind of stuff that Big Food wants us to believe. They are more interested in us shopping the centre aisles in the grocery stores where all the processed garbage is, loaded with Omega 6.

I think you missed the message. listen again.

Hmm Are they actually trying to claim that its healthier to consume saturated fats the Omege 6. Makes you wonder who's payroll they are really on, who funded this research again? It's like the friggen moron who claimed it was healthier to eat bacon and fried donuts over Tilapia . You would have to be brain dead to buy that load of crap.
