THE DIFFERENCE IN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS AND OMEGA-6 FATTY ACIDS

The difference in Omega-3s and Omega-6s is their chemical structures. They are the two major types of polyunsaturated fats we get from foods. Both are important for the body and especially the heart. The typical American diet is more prevalent in Omega-6s which are found in nuts, cooking and salad oils. Omega-3s are found in fatty fish, walnuts, soybeans, chia seeds, hemp seeds, tofu, ground flaxseeds, canola oil and soybean oil.
