What is the right balance of Omega-3s to Omega-6s for the body?
Nutrition research has indicated that people should look to balance the amount of omegas and lower the ratio in their diet. Hemp seeds provide a naturally occurring balance of 1:3 Omega-3 to Omega-6. The American diet is viewed by many professionals as having too much Omega-6 and not enough omega-3. A typical American diet tends to contain 11 to 30 times more omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids. A lower ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is more desirable for reducing the risk of many of the chronic diseases of high prevalence in Western societies.
