What is the difference between Omega-3 fatty acids found in walnuts vs. the ones found in Salmon?


It is my understanding that nuts, such as walnuts, have both omega-3 AND omega-6 fatty acids.

There are 3 types of Omega fatty acids. Omega-3 is your fish oils. Omega-6 are your nut oils. Omega-9 are a mixture foundin specific plants that I can not think of off hand. You want a ratio of greater than 3:1 of Omega-3 to Omega-6. In other words, more fish oils.
