Conflicting messages about fats have left many people unsure what “healthy” really means.
This carousel is based on an overview paper published in Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, summarising evidence presented at an international symposium on omega-6 fatty acids, inflammation, and cardiometabolic health.
