Omega-6s can interfere with the way the body utilizes omega-3 fatty acids and thereby limit their numerous health benefits, such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity.

• If you give a Cow some Flaxseed:
  • There is an additional benefit to increasing the omega 3s in milk. When the proportion of one fatty acid goes up another must go down.. A consistent finding is when Milk omega 3s go UP saturated fatty acids go Down!
  • Cows consume more omega 3s and less omega 6s, as a result of increased access to pasture (where they consume grasses and legumes,) and decrease consumption of grain, particularly corn.
