Re: What about saturated fats in fruits, nuts, and fish?

Thanks for reminding me of the FAQ section Veg. It's certainly allowed me to get my head around Omega 3 Vs 6. Kashu and Blueberry you're belief seems to be confirmed and with it a helpful rationale:
"The right omega-6 to omega-3 balance ranges from about 2:1 to 4:1. This is much lower than the current ratio in our society of about 16:1 up to 25:1. It is the higher ratio that promotes inflammation." As you say Kashu balance seems to be key.
I certainly feel i need to take a proactive rather than spoon fed approach to interpreting the info in both the book and on the site. The OMS subject is so far ranging it's understandable if things are perhaps not always as clear as I'd (we'd?) wish. The FAQ section also mentions Soya and is quite positive about it. However following Blueberry's heads up about omega 6 content in the milk i've looked into this a bit further, Info on http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/leg ... cts/8010/2 shows that the omega 6 content in 1 cup of soya milk significantly exceeds that of Omega 3: Total Omega-3 fatty acids182mg Vs Total Omega-6 fatty acids1419mg
On that basis I too will be steering away from soya milk and opting for almond milk.
I do sometimes get overwhelmed by the mass of info and occasional contradictions and grey areas. It's great to be part of such a supportive and knowledgable peer group as the answers or clarity is never too far away
