I've just read Protein Power, which I really enjoyed. But i was surpirsed to read that I should be reducing the amount of alpha linoleic acid and increase the amount of linoleic acid cos ALA reduces the amounts of good eicosanoids. So I chucked my flaxseed oil (high in ALA) and went back to omega-3 fish oil and olive oil.
Then I read the thread Nat supplied in wangeci's journal (www.stumptuous.com/fat) which says that ALA is another name for omega-3 and that we need it and recommends flaxseed oil! It does say you need the ration 4:1 LA to ALA, but flaxseed is the opposite to that.
Help, now what am I supposed to do?
Anyone know anything else?
