Flax seed oil a better Omega 3

This Wikipedia article gave me a better understanding of the difference in fish oil versus flax seed oil (I always thought that fish oil was better- but being vegetarian I went with flax seed and put my carnivore son on fish oil). In turns out that flax seed oil has 6 times more omega-3's than fish oil. It is the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 that is important, a Western diet typically gets a ratio between 10:1 and 30:1, an ideal ratio is 3:1 to 5:1. Dietary sources of omegas-6 are whole grain cereals, eggs and poultry, nuts and baked goods instead of eating less omega-6 consume more omega-3. Wikipedia:Omega-3
