@Checkyrmed is very well known to focus on every negative aspect of a food. Even avocados, fruits and vegetables are bad.

He/she usually avoids the potential benefits.

This is the kind of dangerous mindset that's causing alot of stress to young people in SG. They just keep focusing on the negativities.

Eggs are generally nutritious. Don't think too much. Just eat moderately in a week.

Farm eggs are less healthy ? Then pay more for free range eggs.
Modern food production has quietly distorted what we eat. Much of today’s food supply is filled with hidden junk, processed oils, and ingredients that drive inflammation. Grain-fed farm eggs, seed oils, and even so-called “healthy” foods like avocados can contain excessive omega-6. If your diet is already overloaded with omega-6, do you really need to add even more? Recognizing this imbalance is not fearmongering, it is taking responsibility for long-term metabolic health.

Chronic diseases and diabetes remain the top health issues in Singapore, yet the “everything in moderation” mindset persists in an omega-6 dominant food environment. That mentality is precisely what sustains the problem. True health comes from understanding food quality, how it affects insulin and inflammation, and making choices that restore balance rather than damage it.

Yeah ok so you suggest to farm, grow and produce your own supplies ?

Why not focus on the benefits of each food ?

Diversify and eat a balanced diet. That's how all the nutrients can complement each other.

Not enough nutrients ? Look into supplements.

Focus on eating whole foods with less processing and exercise more. I guarantee you are way healthier than the population.

Keep life and diet simple. Less stress.

It is not about rejecting balance or simplicity, but about realizing that modern ideas of a balanced diet have drifted far from what they once meant. Many whole foods today are no longer the same as they were decades ago because grain-fed livestock, seed oils, and processed additives have quietly altered their nutrient content and inflammatory effects.

Looking only at the benefits of each food without understanding how they interact metabolically is what fuels the growing rates of insulin resistance, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Supplements cannot fix a diet overloaded with poor-quality inputs.

True balance comes from correcting what has been distorted, not from eating a little of everything and hoping the body will somehow stay healthy.

Yeah Ok so you still haven't provide solutions to the problems.

To how to avert omega-6? Even farm salmon are bad for us. Olive oil and avocado got omega 6.

I think people can start picking up eggs from the parks in Singapore. Chicks and chicken roaming everywhere.

The core issue is that the modern diet contains roughly 20 times more omega-6 than omega-3, an extreme imbalance linked to metabolic dysfunction and chronic diseases like diabetes and stroke. Reducing refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) oils is essential. Instead, choose fats with healthier ratios such as grass fed butter, ghee, or beef tallow. For those on plant-based diets, coconut oil is the best option, as it contains almost no omega-6 and helps support metabolic health.

Did you test and verify the eggs and meat you bought for omega 6 ? Did you visit their farms ? Maybe the omega 6 claim are just fake advertisement ?

Your thinking is so narrow. Instead of focussing on just omega 6, you can try to increase omega 3 too.

That's how fish, seafood, seeds and nuts from a balanced diet is supposed to do.

Diversify your food sources. Don't just focus on a few sources.

This reasoning overlooks how excessive PUFA affects the body at a cellular level.

Take a typical modern diet as an example. A single person may consume around 15 to 20 grams of omega-6 per day from seed oils, processed foods, and restaurant meals. To achieve a true 1:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, that person would need to consume 15 to 20 grams of omega-3 daily. Considering that fatty fish like salmon contains roughly 1 to 2 grams of omega-3 per 100 grams, a person would need to eat 7 to 10 kilograms of salmon per day to match the omega-6 intake, which is clearly impossible.

Even if someone could achieve this, consuming excessive omega-3 or omega-6 is not harmless. High omega-6 intake promotes inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance, while excessively high omega-3 can increase bleeding risk, suppress immune response, and also become prone to oxidation. PUFA in general, when consumed in large amounts, are highly susceptible to oxidation, generating harmful lipid peroxides that damage cells and tissues.

1) There are some sources that say this omega 3 and 6 ratio issue is not conclusive enough. More research is needed. I think its alright to put some weight on this topic but don't need to overthink.

2) Certain issues you have been espousing so far are opposite of what many large scale studies on the Mediterranean diet found.

3) Adopting LCHF or keto diet ? Just for your reading pleasure.

While it’s true that research continues to evolve, the imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 is one of the most consistent biochemical findings linked to inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. The problem isn’t that omega-6 is inherently bad but that the modern intake ratio has shifted from an ancestral 1:1 to around 20:1. Even if some studies call for more research, the physiological mechanisms—oxidative stress, arachidonic acid overproduction, and inflammatory eicosanoids—are well-established.

As for the Mediterranean diet, its benefits actually support the argument rather than contradict it. Traditional Mediterranean eating patterns relied on low omega-6 oils, minimal processing, What’s often labeled as a “Mediterranean diet” in modern studies is a diluted, Westernized version with higher omega-6 content, which changes its metabolic effects.

Regarding LCHF or keto diets, these are not fads but clinically validated metabolic therapies used for decades in epilepsy, diabetes management, and insulin resistance. Even institutions like Harvard acknowledge that while keto may not be suitable for everyone, it has clear benefits in improving blood sugar control, triglycerides, and HDL levels when properly formulated with whole foods and nutrient balance.

Its Ok. I'm quite hedged whether the ratio matters or not.

My diet with minimal ultraprocessed foods already ensures lower omega 6. I don't need to target 1:1.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, using extra virgin olive oil as the main fat source. It also includes moderate amounts of fish, poultry, and dairy, with red meat and sweets consumed sparingly. Wine can be included in moderation with meals.

That's not the kind of diet you've been emphasizing.

Let me ask you a very simple question.

When there are 2 polarizing camps for and against a particular strategy, what is the sensible and logical thing to do ?

I will choose to avoid that strategy. So its the same with diet. Pick a diet that has numerous backings ie Mediterranean
