linoleic acid competes with omega-3
Quote from BMJ OpenHeart Study on Omega-6 vegetable oils source:
│ Importantly, the increased consumption of omega-6 polyunsaturated fat
│ linoleic acid can reduce omega-3 in the body as it competes with the
│ alpha-linolenic acid for metabolism to longer chain polyunsaturated fats.
Lineoleic acid can interfere with the uptake of omega-3.
Carved from raw notes on the study.
