Lowering Omega 6 in ratio to Omega 3 reduces inflammation

Diets With High Omega-6:Omega-3 Ratios Enhance Risk for Depression,
Inflammatory Disease
When people are stressed and depressed, diets are poorer,
since people do not usually eat more fruits and vegetables,
Dr. Kiecolt-Glaser noted. She added that "any way that people
get more omega-3 and less omega-6 is probably good."

IIRC, someone did a study of the omega 3 content of red blood cells
(omega 3 index) and if that index was something over 9.5%, their was
little risk of CVD. Assuming that the fatty acid percentages in red
blood cells reflect the diet, 10% of the dietary fatty acids should be
omega 3, but I don't see how omega 6 is any more dangerous than
saturated fatty acids or MUFA.
