So you think that fats and oils are always bad for you? That is not true. As we said a complete avoidance of fats and oils can be even harmful for you health. Some fatty acids are essential to your body and must always be part of our daily diet. If we would decide to stop eating them that would be a step towards our death. These essential fatty acids are divided into two families: omega-6 EFAs and omega-3 EFAS.
There are only a few differences between these two groups. Actually there are only a few differences when it comes to chemical properties of these fatty acids. But when we look at the effects that each group hs they are very very different. Studies have shown that to much omega-6 EFAs can lead to inflammation, blood clotting and tumor growth. On the other hand omega-3 EFAs can be "guilty" for just the opposite.
Where do you find omega-6 EFAs and omega-3 EFAS?
Omega-6 EFAs is found in vegetable oils
Omega-3 EFAs is found in (liquid) fish oils among other foods.
