From: Taka on 26 Jul 2008 23:14 Mysterious Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-3 fish body oil supplements affect the healing of wounds in an unexpected way, U.S. researchers say. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils are widely considered to benefit cardiovascular health and other diseases related to chronic inflammation because of their anti-inflammatory properties. But insufficient inflammation during the initial stage of wound healing may delay the advancement of later stages Blister wounds on the arms of 15 people taking fish oil supplements as a source of omega-3 fatty acids were different from those on the 15 people with blisters taking a placebo. Proteins associated with inflammation -- expected to be lower in the blisters in people taking fish body oils -- were actually higher. That finding was hard to explain, lead author Jodi McDaniel of Ohio State University in Columbus says in a statement. These proteins may have other functions that we don't yet fully understand. And our results also suggested there could be a difference between men and women in the amount of inflammatory proteins that are produced, because on average, women had lower levels of one of the proteins. The research is published in the journal Wound Repair and Regeneration. SOURCE: http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1495735/mysterious_effect_of_omega3_fatty_acids/index.html

Likely there are trade offs or even different dietary fatty acid profiles than need to be considered. Clearly at some point there has to a level at which omega 3 fatty acids become excessive just as omega 6 fatty acids can be excessive. Moreover, it maybe that if we take the standard American diet as a starting point the average Joe or Jill needs more saturated fats and more omega 3 fatty acids and somewhat less inflammatory fatty acids. I also doubt the one size fits all approach on this topic. Nor do I buy the idea that one does need any omega 6 fatty acids.
