pboy said:the omega 6 info given to the public and by advertisers is dangerous. Americans are not omega 6 excess...its not even close actually. The problem with omega 6 is that when they are heated past 340 they become oxidized and then non bioavailable, and become a burden on the body to remove. America is suffering from an omega 6 deficiceny, because most of the omega 6 they take in is already oxidized and not bioavailable. They take in too many oxidized unusable omega 6, but too little actually fresh cellularly active omega6. The ideal ratio omega 3 to 6 is not 1 to 1, people never ate that ratio in history, not even apes eat that ratio. The true ratio the body optimizes to, what breask milk is, is about 1:6 3:6. Don't overheat or roast any food, steam or boil it, and the omega 6 is not a problem
Look at the post I made at the bottom of this page

and the post on the last page following for more info
basically DHA, EPA, AA are all dangerous to take in from diet. Fresh plant or milk based omega3/6 are not only a non issue, but might be slightly beneficial in the scheme of things...to the same extent oleic acid is
id say a safe good amount would be between 3-6 grams, even up to a little more, but quality matters...freshness
as an adult, the fat requirement is half or less than that of an infant or child, so we need very little. And as long as there is always sugar or saturated fat to burn, we don't burn ourselves out of any necessary fatty acids
I think you miss the point what Ray Peat is saying.
" The fresh oils, whether cold pressed or consumed as part of the living plant material, are intrinsically toxic, and it is not any special industrial treatment that makes them toxic. "

PUFA's are essential for the development of cancer. Rats could not develop cancer on a fat free diet. Above 3g/day of PUFA the risk of cancer goes up significantly.
