The omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid ratio, genetic variation, and cardiovascular disease.

Asia Pacific journal of clinical nutrition - 1 Jan 2008

Simopoulos Artemis P

Abstract excerpt

A high omega-6/omega-3 ratio, as is found in today's Western diets, promotes the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Increased dietary intake of linoleic acid (LA) leads to oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), platelet aggregation, and interferes with the incorporation of essential fatty acids (EFA) in cell membrane phopholipids. Both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids...
