Episode notes

Consuming omega sixes from ultra processed packaged food isn't good for health.
Consumption of ultra processed food with poor health outcomes can't be entirely attributed to seed oils or omega sixes.
The omega six to three ratio may not be that helpful.
Lack of omega threes in the diet may be the root cause of poor health outcomes rather than the ratio of omega six to three.
