This new report is a "mixed blessing." There is an understanding of how omega 6s fuel "chronic inflammation," but there is a notion that omega 3s are the "cure," though the reality is that it is very dangerous, but in a different way:
QUOTE: Farm-raised tilapia, one of the most highly consumed fish in America, has very low levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and, perhaps worse, very high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, according to new research from Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
The researchers say the combination could be a potentially dangerous food source for some patients with heart disease, arthritis, asthma and other allergic and auto-immune diseases that are particularly vulnerable to an "exaggerated inflammatory response..." UNQUOTE.
