Another link to hereditary obesityA new study has brought startling facts to light. Omega fatty acids have long been touted as substances that the body needs. In fact Omega 6 and Omega 3 are recommended as critical substances for good health as they are polyunsaturated fatty acids. But according to the study, imbalances in the intake of these substances can have undesired results.An excess of the Omega 6 in relation to Omega 3 can cause your children to have weight problems. The study tracked the ratios of these fatty acids that are consumed in Western Europe and America and discovered alarming news. In Western Europe the ratio has climbed to 15 to 1 from 5 to 1 and in America it has climbed to 40 to 1. When an analysis of breast milk was conducted in America, it turned out that it contained a ratio of 18 to 1 whereas the old ratio was 6 to 1.Gerard Ailhaud, a biochemist and lead researcher of the study, said that the study proves that Omega 6 was a fat producing bomb. The study could offer a solution as to why obesity has spread far and wide in richer nations across the globe. It could also explain why America’s population has faced an exponential growth in obesity.The study was mainly based on tests that were carried out on four generations of mice. They were fed a diet which mirrored the ratio of Omega fatty acids found in developed countries.
