touting this as a benefit has made me lose all trust in these guys. Omega-6 should be thought of as a negative in modern diets. We want the highest omega3:omeag6 ratio possible.
This underscores, painfully, the point that they're not nutritionists.
"Soylent 1.5 has a 94 percent increase in omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, ALA), a 92 percent increase in the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid, and a 17 percent reduction in the already low saturated fat levels."

"A lower ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids is more desirable in reducing the risk of many of the chronic diseases of high prevalence in Western societies, as well as in the developing countries, that are being exported to the rest of the world."
