Seed Oils, Plant Based Diets & Chronic Inflammation (New Study)
A new study finds vegan dieters have higher concentrations of omega-6 fatty acids and lower quantities of health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids, including pro-resolving lipid mediators, in their cell membranes when compared to omnivores.
Resolvins are bioactive lipids made from dietary omega-3 fatty acids that help resolve inflammation.
Resolvins were not detected in the plasma of any vegan subjects, whereas nine out of twenty-four omnivores had detectable concentrations.
These new findings have important implications for heart, brain and prenatal health.
