For instance, a typical essential fatty acid westerner has during one day eaten 10000mg of n6, and only essential fatty acid 500mg of n3, hence having a ratio of 20:1. The westerner then eats 20 grams of walnuts, hence adding approximately essential fatty acid 8000mg of n6 and 2000 mg of n3, making the total during the day 18000mg n6 and 2500mg n3, hence having a ratio of approximately 7:1. It does seem like an improvement to me. ---Marcus- 20:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC) I see your point - perhaps "significantly improve" is better terminology for the section. Ingesting a 4:1 food source will never, by itself, bring someone back into the optimal range however, as you point out, they will indeed improve, and realistically, when choosing nuts at the supermarket, walnuts would be better than most others. However one cannot eat walnuts as omega-3 therapy and expect to achieve the optimal n6:n3 ratio (as is often believed)Istvan 21:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC) I'm still looking for pointers to original research showing that the problem is the ratio between ω-3 and ω-6, rather than just a shortage of ω-3.
