Janet provides the accurate summary. Yes, Omega 3 is important; however, the damage done by seed oils moving the distorted ratio toward Omega 6 is the suspected culprit in out of control inflammation and metabolic damage that is so prevalent today. I continue to supplement with a good Omega 3, but I avoid like the plague the damaging Omega 6s that are all too often advertised as heart healthy. They have no place in my pantry.
As mentioned, eating out puts you at the mercy of the restaurant, and they certainly have no awareness or care to have about this health issue. Bottom line for most places, even the upscale places, is cost. If they think Canola oil is healthy, it becomes a great substitute for olive oil in everything. Even for those of us who have ordered a salad and asked for olive oil and vinegar on the side, it's an easy taste test to detect that the oil is something other than oo. Diner beware.
