Focus on Oxidative Stress, Not Just Omega Ratios

The conversation around vegetable oils often gets sidetracked by the omega six versus three debate, with most vegetable oils containing predominantly omega six fatty acids. This misdirection overshadows the more critical issue of oxidation, which leads to oxidative stress, a factor that has not been sufficiently emphasized in discussions about the health impacts of vegetable oils. It's important to shift the focus from merely comparing fatty acid ratios to understanding the detrimental effects of oxidative stress associated with these oils.
