Virgin Coconut Oil - Omega 3 or Omega 6?
Hello all,
Been reading the recent posts about coconut oil with great interest.
But I am a bit confused about the fatty acid content - the cursory research I've done online is contradictory : some sources (mainly sites selling the oil) say coconut oil contains high levels of omega 3s whereas others say no omega 3s at all - just high levels of omega 6s (wikipedia for example).
The current consensus seems to be high omega 3 is good, too much omega 6 is bad - particularly in relation to neurological conditions, so I'm a bit concerned about launching into a personal trial!
Or am I missing the point?
Cheers,
Toob.
