3. Omega 6 Fatty Acids
Linolic
Fatty-Acids-Rich-Vegetable Oils – Too Much of the Good Stuff
We eat too
much omega 6 fatty acids!
Poly
unsaturated vegetable oils are necessary for the body and are healthy;
In the
commercial we see a healthy couple pouring lots of sunflower oil over the
salad, they are happy and look very healthy,…the customer thinks: vegetable oil
looks good-has low cholesterol-is healthy. However too much omega 6 fatty acids;
which only came out of recent medical investigations show that they; can be
harm-full for our health.
Too Much Vegetable Oil Have a Negative
Outworking on the Tissue Hormones
Certain
vegetable oils consist mainly out of omega 6 fatty acids, which are indicated
in the contents as Linolic Fatty Acids. We eat nowadays 20 times more omega 6
then omega 3 fatty acids whereas the ideal would be 4 to 1, or even 1 to 1. A
lot of vegetables hold on a balance of 1 to 1 omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.
In most vegetable oils which are made from corn, sunflowers and thistle the
balance goes up to 120 to 1. The balance is important in the production of
tissue hormones.
Tip:
The balance
between omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids is very important in the production of
tissue hormones. Even with an out of balance of 10 to 1 the production of
tissue hormones is reduced with 50%. The omega 3 fatty acids are stopped by the
omega 6 fatty acids and at a balance of 20 to 1 the production of these
hormones is completely disturbed. Eat less omega 6 fat containing oils that’s
already one step in the right direction.
Influencing the Hormones
Just by the
intake of the right fatty acids one can influence the production of the tissue
hormones. From the production of the right hormones it depends whether the
human body stays longer fit and healthy or whether it will become weak and open
for diseases. Tissue hormones influence a lot of chronic diseases:
-
auto
immune diseases like rheumatisms, arthritis, lupus, coronary diseases,
psoriasis, allergies, asthma
-
depressions
and nervous diseases, Alzheimer and Dementia
-
Heart
and Blood diseases, high blood pressure, heart attack, sticky blood plates,
artery infections
-
Osteoporoses
In order to
stay long healthy and fit in body and soul it is important to reduce the omega
6 fatty acids and this way stimulate the tissue hormone production, the so
called good EICOS, through eating more omega 3 fatty acids.
Eicosaniode – the Right Balance is Important
Even by
just eating food in different places and at home the intake of omega 6 is more
then enough as it is so widely used. Therefore is it important to reduce its
use at home dramatically and to watch out what oils to use in the preparation
of food at home. The most important is the balance between omega 6 and omega 3
fatty acids in order to have a healthy production of tissue hormones. By taking
away the vegetable salad oils holding omega 6 fatty acids and replacing them
with omega 3 rich oils like flax oil, walnut oil and Canola oil, Colza oil or
rape oil it is possible to bring the balance to 4 to 1.
Some
sunflower seeds are healthy; however our body is not made for the tons of
vegetable oils produced out of them.
The special
cannabis oil has got the perfect balance of 3 to 1 omega 6 to omega 3 fatty
acids.
The rich in
omega 3 oils are:
Oil Balance Omega 6 to Omega
3
Flax oil 1 to 4
Canola Oil 2 to 1
Cannabis
Oil 3 to 1
Walnut Oil 4 to 1
Wheat Germ
Oil 6 to 1
Eicosanoides – the RNA of our Cells
Eicosanoids are
molecules of the fatty acid metabolism normally released temporarily in
irritated tissue. There they act as inflammatory and wound healing factors by
activating specific surface receptors of cells and proteins which regulate gene
activity.
Eicosanoids or
our tissue hormones that cary the messages to our cells; are the regulators of
the blood pressure, bloot production, immune system and as mentioned above they
are active in inflamatory reactions. These eicos are active only for a very
short time but are nescessary to sustain human life. The eating habits
influence the production of these tissue hormones directly the intake of the
right fatty acids provide for the building blocks of these hormones.

Opposite Tissue Hormones From Fatty Acids
The
tissuehormones are responsible to give signals to the different cells in order
to activate or deactivate many different functions. The different building
blocks for these polarised hormones come either form omega 3 or omega 6 fatty
acids and in many cases are they used for exactly the opposite workings. If in
the case where the balance is 20 to 1 then one type of eicos is produced more
then the other and gets them out of balance. Over the years certain chronic
diseases can be the result:
-
An
open wound needs to be closed, the tissue hormone number 2 made from omega 6
fatty acids is made that makes the blood thick and the wound closes, however
too much of this hormone makes all the blood too thick and the blood doesn’t
stream so good anymore.
-
The
same hormone increases the blood pressure, this is ok in certain situations
like stress, however a constant increased blood pressure is unhealthy if there
are not enough eicos number 3 from omega 3 fatty acids that regulate the blood
pressure down.
-
The
eicos 2 activate the immune system and tell the attack cells to get rid of
infected cells, however if this hormone is too much produced it will risk the
immune system to go into auto immune diesease and have the risk of causing
astma and allergies in which case the immunesystem turns agains the own healthy
cells. This in turn can lead to rheuma, artritis, asthma, psoriasis and lupus.
The omega 3 fatty acids which make eicos 3 reduce the activity of the immune
system.
Good To Know:
From the
vegetable fatty acids the body produces (indirect intake) the longer fat
molecules AA from omega 6 and EPA from omega 3, they are the direct building
blocks for the tissue hormones.
From other
foodstuffs (direct intake) comes AA from meats and EPA from fish.
From these two
substances are produced the tissue hormones or eicosanoides which have
different and opposite workings. In the case one eats too much meat and oils
containing omega 6 fatty acids the production of omega 3 eicos is reduced and
in a balance of 10 to 1 even cut in half. This leads to chronic diseases.

Fats and Eicos – the Metabolism - the program
of the Evolution
One can not
expect with an altered fat intake of 20 to 1 omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids for
the RNA and hormone system still to work properly. The necessary fatty acids
are therefore more then just calories they are directly influencing the health
and wellbeing of our bodies. During the evolution the balance has been around 1
to 1 or 1 to 4. It has never been 20 to 1; our bodies are not made for a high
intake of omega 6 fatty acids. The building blocks of the tissue hormones are
AA and EPA, AA is available in meat and EPA in fish; moreover is it then
important to eat regularly fish instead of meat. The Japanese due to their high
intake of fresh fish have the lowest heart attack rates in the industrialized
world; they also have the highest life expectancy and the lowest amounts of
auto immune diseases and arthritis.
Omega 6 Vegetable Oils Do Not Diminish the Risk
for Heart attacks
As long
believed would the use of vegetable oils reduce the blood fats and with that
the risk for heart attacks, however recent studies have shown two bad
aftereffects of omega 6 fatty acids:
-
They
have a bad influence on the tissue hormones
-
They
are not stable in the bloodstream like mono unsaturated fatty acids from olive
oil
It are
exactly these rancid oxidized fatty acids the LDL that deposit themselves on
the inside of the arteries and cause them to get blocked.
The more
omega 6 fatty acids the more the LDL transport ships can get rancid and
oxidize. With olive oil the blood fat particles stay a lot more stable.
As an
example there is the country of Israel US N Europe . Israel
Omega 3
fatty acids; ensure a good balance in the tissue hormones
Olive oil
ensures the stability of the blood fats.
Vegetable Oil in the Media and Commercials
Till now
the working of vegetable oils and in particular the Linolic fatty acids from
vegetable oils (omega 6 fatty acids) has still not been proven to have a good
effect on the heart and blood diseases.
The balance
between Omega 6 and 3 should be maintained at a level of max 4 to 1
Omega 6
fatty Acids Short:
-
Linolic
acids are essential fats and necessary or our cells
-
Linolic
acids is a building block for the necessary tissue hormones
By too much
intake:
-
Influence
the tissue hormones negatively
-
Prevent
the use of omega 3 fatty acids
-
Renders
the blood fatty acids open for oxidation
-

Inflammatory
Influence
on the blood fats:
Good: diminishes
the bad LDL
Bad: In large quantities can also
diminish the good HDL
