What about Omega 3's and 6's
Posted Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 1:26 PM

I understand that fatty foods are more calorie dense, but I hear a lot about the heart healthy benefits of Omega fatty acids. You can get these from plant based sources like flaxseeds and walnuts. Are our hearts better off with or without them?

Thanks!
