<p>Looking for a POLITE (no pretentious paleos, please) and straightforward explanation of omega3's and 6's. What are the recommended ratios and amounts? What foods should I avoid? Does taking fish oil help to balance things out? (For example: If you eat something high in omega 6's but are taking fish oil, does that matter?) </p>

<p>I think you'd be good to read Kresser's post <a href="http://thehealthyskeptic.org/9-steps-to-perfect-health-1-dont-eat-toxins" rel="nofollow">here</a>. It's a good starter. Covers Omegas somewhere in the middle but the whole thing is very informative so read it.</p>

<p>Well, I hope you will not consider my sharing my favorite sources on the subject with you to be pretentious. ;)</p> <p><a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201103/your-brain-omega-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201103/your-brain-omega-3</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.archevore.com/get-started/" rel="nofollow">http://www.archevore.com/get-started/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.archevore.com/panu-weblog/2009/5/18/6s-and-3s-and-the-logic-of-grain-avoidance.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.archevore.com/panu-weblog/2009/5/18/6s-and-3s-and-the-logic-of-grain-avoidance.html</a></p> <p>There you go -</p> <p>Hope this is helpful to you!</p>

<p>I did a post on omega 3 and 6 recently. It has recommendations on amounts, ratios, and how to work it out. Plus comprehensive charts of omega 3 and 6 amounts in seafood, meat, oils, animal fats, nuts and seeds</p> <p><a href="http://paleozonenutrition.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/omega-6-and-3-in-nuts-oils-meat-and-fish-tools-to-get-it-right/" rel="nofollow">http://paleozonenutrition.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/omega-6-and-3-in-nuts-oils-meat-and-fish-tools-to-get-it-right/</a> </p> <p>There are also links to what I think are the best posts and info on omega 3 including Chris Kresser's posts</p>

<p>Dr. Bill Harris presents some <a href="http://www.lecturepad.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=1048%3an-6-fatty-acids-harmful-or-helpful-n6n3-rations-useful-or-not&amp;catid=47%3aprevention&amp;Itemid=423" rel="nofollow">seemingly credible evidence</a> to challenge those who assert only a very low level of O-6 fats is healthy. Does anyone have the chops to critique his presentation?</p> <p>Update 10/4/12: I posted this question on Chris Kresser's blog. He responded that Harris is cherry-picking the available data, but he didn't get specific.</p>
