Essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6, cannot be produced by the body and must be provided in the diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are generally viewed as precursors to anti-inflammatory compounds, while Omega-6 fatty acids are utilized in pro-inflammatory products. While there is a need for both types of fatty acids for a healthy physiological response, certain feed stuffs can provide more omega-6 than omega-3, upsetting the balance needed for normal body function.
