For you guys who take high amount of Omega 3, how do you know if your ratio of Omega 3 is correctly balanced with your Omega 6? It was mentioned in articles that imbalances can cause problems. Overdosing on Omega 3 can lower immunity it seems.
Curios to know since 15 grams of Omega 3 is a lot.

Most of our food is already rich in omega 6.
Comparing the amount of omega 6 we're eating, balancing out with 15 grams of O3s is just the tip of the iceberg.
I've been taking about 15-30grams daily for the past year and i've only been sick once due to sore throat which it seem was a viral thingy.
And the last time i went to the doctor was when i was in NS, two years ago.

I have not been sick for the past 2 years I think... Injured once.
The thing is, I really think that we tend to overdo our calculations about these fat ratios. But, if info is definitive, then please share.
