Yeah, hail the fish oil. My own personal theory is that certain people have genetic dispositions towards a high requirement for omega 3's and a low requirement for omega 6's. When these people don't get what they are genetically programmed for, they suffer with symptoms of autoimmune disease (excessive inflammation) and mental disorders.
Imagine this scenario: your descendents lead a life where their diet consisted of no less than 30% cold water oily fish, packed with tons of omega 3's. What happens when you take someone with these genetics and give them the typical american diet laden with fake fats and tons of omega 6's?
At the very least, a propensity for increased inflammatory activity and inadequate neurotransmission... That's my thinking.
