Omega-6脂肪酸的益处
Omega-6脂肪酸能协调荷尔蒙水平。除此之外，Omega-6脂肪酸还有益于皮肤，能舒缓皮肤过敏。OMEGA-6能在体内转化成GAMA-亚油烯酸(GLA)。GLA能控制炎症，减缓更年期症状，抑制糖尿病引起的神经衰退。
主要危害
过高的Omega-6脂肪酸：Omega-3脂肪酸比值, 会干扰Omega-3脂肪酸在我们体内的益处。长期过量Omega-6脂肪酸会引起：
- 慢性心脏病发作
- 血栓性中风
- 心律不整
- 关节炎
Omega-6脂肪酸：Omega-3脂肪酸比值
这两种脂肪酸的比值十分重要。世界卫生组织 (WHO) 建议维持比值于5-10：1
均衡的Omega-6脂肪酸与Omega-3脂肪酸摄取量对身体各项功能有益。均衡的比值能让大家从Omega-6脂肪酸获益，也能同时避免过量Omega-6脂肪酸的危害。
