Ratio of ω-6 / ω-3 fatty acids must be :

For usual nutrition – 5-10 / 1,

For dietary nutrition – 3-5 / 1.

High linolenic varieties have ratio ~0,25 / 1.

Low linolenic varieties have ratio 13,2 – 24,6 / 1.

Thereby,

Neither traditional (containing too much linolenic acid), no low

linolenic (containing too litle linolenic acid) flax varieties

Don’t give optimal ratio of ω-6 / ω-3 fatty acids.
