I will be taking an extended hiatus.  I just got two book proposals accepted for publication (looks like publishing is alive and well, at last).  And now I need time to actually write the books!  So I won't be responding to comments or e-mails for a while.  The research news feed “Latest Omega-6 News” will continue to auto-update, it’s located on the upper right column.

In the meanwhile, here are some resources that you might find helpful:

• Omega-6 Content of more than 150 foods This is a new 4-page pdf, which lists the omega-6 content of these types of foods: margarines, oils, salad dressings, fast foods and vegetarian foods.

• Check out the Whole Health Source blog , written by scientist Stephan Guyenet. He often writes about omega-6 issues.

• Here is a link to unpublished letters to the editor, regarding American Heart Association's Omega-6 Advisory.  AHA posted the letters and a response from the Omega-6 Advisory committee on their website [free full text]:

   Ramsden C et al (2009) Letters to Circulation [serial on the Internet]. CIRCULATIONAHA/2009/865667

Lastly, a big thank-you to fellow blogger, Healthy Librarian, who helped me work through a technical difficulty, by generously putting my Meta-analysis Reveals “Heart Healthy Omega-6 Fat” Increases Risk of Heart Disease post on her blog. Check out her blog, Happy Healthy Long Life , a medical librarian's adventures in evidence-based living.
