All fruits and vegetables have a significant amount if omega 3 fatty acids and omega 6. To the point where if you ate only fruits and vegetables (and enough calories) you would get enough of each. And close to the proper balance to 1:1- 1:4. Refined oils and animal fat are all (except fish) are all highly skewed toward omega 6 to the point that most Americans have a ratio of 1:20 or more. You actually do better getting sufficient calories from plant sources.
But i tend to think people jump on the "your not getting enough fat" thing really quickly. There are other possibilities that you should look into first. I find that on a low fat diet, I can't wash my face and hands constantly or my skin will dry out. But if I only wash once a day and after using the rest room it seems fine, I also don't have to use shampoo (because my hair doesn't get oily anymore). And when i use soap I use natural stuff. |
