Nurses Health Study showing a daily Glycemic
Load (GL) of approx 10,000 produced the lowest
disease and CVD incidence. Assuming 10 %
of cals are eaten as snacks we then have
a meal GL goal of 3,000 ((10,000*.9)/3).

Omega 3 & 6 dietary needs:
Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the food chain
in the United States
....Omega 6 LA (18:2w6) Limit to LESS THAN
7 grams (NO veggie oils!)
....Omega 3 LNA (18:3w3) ~ 2.2 g (1 tablespoon
of ground flax)
....Omega 3 EPA (20:5w3) + DHA (22:6w3) ~
0.65 g (2 x 200 g / 6 oz serves of fatty
fish (Salmon, Mackerel, Tuna, Herring, Sardines,
etc) per week)
4 weeks of reduced Omega 6 and increased
Omega 3 significantly alter cell membrane
Omega 3 : 6 ratios for the better.

foods enriched with n-3 fatty acids

6 and increased Omega 3 significantly reduced
