Omega -6 Fatty Acids are commonly found in the seeds and oils of most plants. Linoleic acid is the parent fatty acid of the Omega-6 family. Linoleic acids are converted into Arachidonic acid or Gamma-linoleic acid as the case may be and incorporated in the cell membranes. Arachidonic acid when acted upon by enzymes like cyclo-oxygenase / lipoxygenase release pro-inflammatory local hormones called prostaglandins & leukotrienes, the so called bad eicosanoids. Omega - 6 fatty acids are abundantly present in the diet and need no supplementation. Moreover the abundantly incorporated Arachdonic acid derived from the phospholipids lead to an excess of the `friendly fire` inflammatory responses, which when left untackled, lead to an array of physiological problems like systemic lupus, CHD, immune disorders etc leading to artery diseases, heart attack, arthritis and so on.
