[awnyerneas]

Is eating a all natural peanut butter sandwhich enough for EFA's in day?

 

[bran987]

lol.. NO!!!!1
it's omega-6 fatty acids, which is the kind of fat you already have a ton of in your diet.
actually I'm sorry for laughing, I would have been clueless about that question a year ago.
u need omega-3's
but the ANPB is at least unsaturated fat and not bad for you
I am 90% sure it has no omega-3 but lord knows I've been wrong
hope that helps

No, as Bran987 said

not enough omega 3s my friend

Ok, didn't think so. Havnt done any research on any of that yet. Was just hoping it did because I have 12 dollars for another week and can't buy anything. Anything else besides flaz oil and the fish oil that help with these?

you can get 1 pound of raw walnuts halves and pieces for $5.99 at the health food store if you buy them in bulk.. a serving of walnuts is just 1/4 cup so that lasts for awhile

walnuts are high in o-3's?

what about o-9's? no one ever brings them up. where are they abundant and is there a need to supplement with them?

No so much useful
evening primerose oil is a good source

1) Walnuts have some o-3's but the amount is nominal, compared to the load you need to get daily
2) o-9's=monounsaturated acids - extra virgin olive oil, almonds, etc = just as necessary other fatty acids for proper metabolic functioning; fish oil+extra virgin olive oil=must! get o-6's from the rest of the foods you consume!

this is terrible. I've been eating them a lot. Thought they were high in o-3's back to drawing board
