EPA and DHA
The high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the American diet (average 19:1) is caused by the overabundance of omega-6 fatty acids in our daily intake. Prior to 1900, the average American had an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of approximately 4:1. The increased ratio has impacted overall vascular health during the late 20th century. Without increasing levels of omega-3 fatty acids, it is nearly impossible to reestablish healthy omega-6 to omega-3 ratios.
