[fast5] FW: Omega 6 - Omega 3

As Rick was sharing about soy bean oil and the imbalance of O6-O3, I want to
send this info thru, too. Powerful!

>>Walnut Oil has about 5 times more omega-6 than omega-3 so it's not a good
source of omega-3 if one is trying to balance ones intake.

I found out the hard way how hazardous it is to consume peanut butter
regularly. In an October Defense Department workshop on omega-3 fats Dr.
Lands said, "...there are some really interesting foods that have more
omega-3 than omega-6; but not all. Did you know that peanuts have 4,000
milligrams per 28 gram, one ounce serving of peanuts? 4,000 milligrams of
omega-6 and one milligram of omega-3. The United States is the land of
peanut butter. Grow our kids. Make our kids healthy. Whoops."

I heard the presentation in November and immediately stopped eating peanut
butter sandwiches for lunch. Over the past 5 weeks strength and mobility
have returned to my limbs and the pain I've endured for a number of years
has subsided. I can run and jump again and get up from a chair without
thinking about it. Funny how one can be so careful about ones nutrition and
still overlook something important.
