Omega-6 Fatty Acids 1 article

The omega-6 family comprises polyunsaturated fats such as linoleic acid and related fatty acids. Seed oils such as soybean and corn oil, as well as many nuts and seeds, are common dietary sources and can make omega-6 a substantial part of a food's fatty-acid profile. The family designation is broader than any one molecule, so nutrition analysis should distinguish total omega-6 context from a specific fatty acid such as linoleic acid and from the separate omega-3 family.
