Stephan over at Whole Health Source (an excellent blog – and in the list of Blogs I Read) has written a 3-part series on Eicosanoids.
If you’re interested in maintaining excellent cardiovascular health and wondering if your diet could be improved, these posts are mandatory reading.
The first, Eicosanoids, Fatty Liver and Insulin Resistance is the primer for metabolic syndrome.
The second, Eicosanoids and Ischemic Heart Disease is an eye-opener regarding consumption of poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
The final, Eicosanoids and Ischemic Heart Disease part II shows that it’s not just the ratio of omega-6 and 3’s in the diet that’s important, but the amount too.
All of Stephan’s posts are good but this series may top them all!
