I mostly agree with the article. The bit on too much Omega-6 surprised me (I like flax seed oil, and after some research I will probably cut down on this).

Sorry for plugging my own stuff, but I like to see the approximate nutrients in the meals I make so I built a little web site that lets me check the recipes I use (http://cookingspace.com - still a work in progress).

Flax seed is much higher in Omega-3 than 6, so it is a very good oil by this logic.

Thanks!! I really like the flavor of flax seed oil (yeah, it is an acquired taste) so I will continue to enjoy it.

The Reddit /r/Keto rule of thumb is not to eat more than 5% of mono and poliunsaturated fats in the total fat consumption.

Under that 5%, the ratio of Omega-6 and 3 should be maintained.
