I believe dr Atkins states forget just taking omega 3 as in fashion at the moment,& that you also need omega 6 as well cause even though there is more omega 6 in diet lots of people cannot convert it to GLA, certainly in my children with eczema (now gone)we/they cant.also since i have been off omega 6 i feel i have started to look older! so can anyone tell me supplements good for aging, i know to watch carbs! or should i just take lots of evening primrose oil??

Hi, Wendy.
Atkins was a genius but even genii do not know everything about everything. You will find that omega 3s are not a "fashion". About 10% of the population need supplements of omaga 6. So far, the most reliable test as to whether one needs the 6s is personal experience.
Hope this helps.

i didnt mean omega 3s are a fashion i know how important they are it just seems it is in "fashion" to say omega 6s are not needed at all, & i just feel this may make a lot of people deficient in gla, oh its all so complex! but yes its all trial & error, thankyou for replying.
