    This is retarded, for a number of reasons.

    Observational studies are worthless, particularly of something that is widely believed to be healthy or unhealthy. See here: wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/.../...gy-self.html and here: wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/.../...self_09.html for an excellent explanation of why.

    Omega-6s destroy infants livers. here: wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/.../...infants.html

    And finally, the modern diet has so much omega-6 in it, that it is impossible to do a proper intervention trial. Your cells are already so saturated with omega-6 fatty acids that simply adding or removing omega-6 from the diet will have no effect. 50 years ago a couple of studies were done before omega-6 fats were so prevalent in our diet, and the unfortunate subjects and 2 to 4 times the mortality!

    For the love of god, don't eat those horrible unnatural "vegetable" oils, industrially pressed from corn, soybeans, cottonseed. Your body did not evolve to process them in the quantities we eat today.
