How Much Omega-6 in Vegetable Oils? The Omega-6 Fat Tracker Widget
Bottomline: Omega-6 Fat Tracker is a free widget that lists the omega-6 fatty acid content in vegetable oils.
The Omega-6 Fat Tracker-Oils lists the amount of omega-6 fat in oils, per tablespoon. I created this widget and I'm giving it away. Yes, free, no strings attached (a credit line would be nice, but not required).
The Omega-6 Fat Tracker-Oils lists the amount of omega-6 fat in oils, per tablespoon. I created this widget and I'm giving it away. Yes, free, no strings attached (a credit line would be nice, but not required).
Why? I want to increase awareness of the health issues created from excess dietary omega-6 fats, the most commonly eaten polyunsaturated fat in westernized countries.
Get It: At the very bottom of the chart, click "" and it's yours. (If you want to place it on your blog or website)
Use It: You can sort the columns, just as you would in an Excel spreadsheet.
Improve It: I plan to create other Omega-6 Fat Trackers for other food categories. Drop me an email/comment as to which foods or categories that you'd like see an Omega-6 Fat Tracker created.
Note for Omega-6 Fat Tracker-Oils: Since these are plants-based oils, the omega-6 fatty acid is linoleic acid, which is listed in milligrams. Keep in mind that experts recommend no more than 6700 milligrams of omega-6 fat per day for adults, see: How Much Omega-6 Fat is Too Much?

This is a great widget. Could you possibly add peanut oil to the list?
Thanks

Thanks!
Yes, I'll add the omega-6 fat content of peanut oil to my next Tracker revision---in the meanwhile:
- 1 Tablespoon of peanut oil has 4320 milligrams of omega-6 fat (linoleic acid).

Great list! Could you specify if virgin coconut oil is the same as palm oil?
