I am, like most on this forum, well aware of the destructive effects of a diet high in PUFA. My question is simple, are there any benefits to balancing omega 6 and 3? I know the average Americans diet contains about 20x more 6 than 3

probably, the 100% grass fed milks and beef, and pastured eggs do have a much more balanced ratio, 1:1 i think. maybe natural fish also have a balanced ratio. its only when you get to fish oils or seed oils you see something thats entirely omega 6 or entirely omega 3
