too many omega 6s have given me arthritis!!!
I think I've had too much of those dang omega 6s in the last few days - for various stupid reasons - and now I've got painful arthritis on and off in my right hip... Plus my fingers are stiffer than they were. The only thing I've changed lately - for various silly reasons - is that I've had sunflower oil, peanuts and various meals with legumes (my eldest daughter has gone vegan, of all things).
I am now going to strictly reduce any consumption of foods high in the dang 6's and see if the arthritis pain goes away again. No more seed oils, no more nuts and no more legumes for a good while...
I think I seriously got too much all at once and it has triggered some inflammatory process in my joints.
I used to think all this anti-PUFA business was a bit over-rated ("pufa-schmufa" I used to think to myself), but now I think I was very very wrong to see things that way.
I shall report back when I've been off the sixes for a while longer.
