I thought I'd share what I found, in case your readers are interested. <br /><br />1. The main reason for people to hate rapeseed oil and canola oil is that rapeseed contains erucic acid which has a bad smell. Canola is a special breed with much lower concentration of erucic acid.

The amount of omega 6 in meats is trivial compared to commercial salad dressings, vegetable oils or processed foods.<br /><br />Three tablespoons of soybean salad dressing contains 13,000 milligrams of omega 6.<br /><br />6 oz hamburger contains 600 milligrams of omega 6.<br /><br />I eat meat every day and my omega 6/omega 3 ratio is 2.9.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208548778259311459noreply@blogger.com
