Omega 3 and 6 (forget the peanut butter thread)

[Khonkaen]

I am sure you lot are all familiar with these greek foods "the Omegas" I call them in my book.

1.So it seems walnuts are what peanut butter should be made from and it should still be called peanut butter to avoid descrimination and arguments.

Because I have an olive grove on my estae in Portugal and declare a vestered interest in their promotion (Lesser are you listening to this, olive oil... Meditereanian diet) I looked up olive oil and this is what I found....

"Olive oil is in fact, low in linoleic acid with an average of 10 percent of fats coming from this particular fatty acid. For this reason it is recommended for cooking since it helps keep a balanced ratio of the two fatty acids: omega-6 and omega-3

So although we know Omega 3 good, Omega 6 bad, it is maintaining the correct balance between the two. However, Dr Esselstyn disagrees and says "no oil". Need to send the mafia to see him, as they run the olive oil business.

Be interested to hear what other think, have found out, or think they have found out.

Next I would like to talk about wine, as I have vinyard too.....plug plug.

By the way my house in Portugal cost Eur41k........its currently 25c and sunny.
