Straightforward: Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s

At what point(say in terms of grams)-for the average person- do omega-6 fats become significant as deleterious to health? Assume a skewed ration of 1:20 for Omega-3:Omega-6 in the diet? At what point-in grams or other measure- does this EVEN matter? Why not consume (realtive to percent of PUFAs) products that have a very skewed ratio of omega fats (high 6, low 3) and yet little omega fats at all---in high doses? eg. lbs. of grain-fed beef(high fat), tallow, eggs, butter, etc.... When should on estart to worry about inflammation and the gamut of other problems bound up with 0-6?

"Why not consume (realtive to percent of PUFAs) products that have a very skewed ratio of omega fats (high 6, low 3) and yet little omega fats at all---in high doses?" I think you are referring to the fact grain fed beef doesn't have a very good ratio, but since the actual amount isn't very much compared to say... soybean oil, then you you are wondering if there is enough omega6 content in beef to worry about. – Jack Kronk Aug 11 2011 at 14:43
