Hi
I'm sure this has been discussed. As I read about EICOSANOID more carefully, according to PP we should minimize things like Alpha-linoleic acid (ALA , hence oilve oil is bettter than canola oil), archadonic acid (sp?). According to PP fish oil is better for omega-6/omega-3 balance compared to flaxseed oil. Please share if you have any thought and/or point any previsously discussed thread on this...

I think metabolic type-ing is very important.. and I need to think/read beyond carb,protien, saturated fat and unsaturated fat etc etc..

From my limited understanding it is not so much a matter of omega-6/omega-3 balance as that fish oil is already in a state to be absorbed by the body whereas flaxseed oil still has to undergo some chemical changes before it becomes omega 3. I use both! Fish oil in capsules and flaxseed on salads from time to time.
