Tilapia (farm-raised) now bad to eat?
That's the problem...the government is the last institution to change it's recommendations on eating healthy. They are not looking at n-6/n-3 ratio they are only looking at each individually. Yes, compared to saturated fat, n-6 fatty acids are good, but we are consuming too much n-6 compared to n-3 which leads to unfavorable outcomes. The recommendations are not based on flawed science, they are based on science that makes sense and the government has yet to catch up. An example would be, low carbohydrate diets...there are numerous studies showing beneficial effects of a lower carbohydrate diet versus a higher carbohydrate diet...but the government doesn't say...try not to eat too many carbs....they have to cover their ass to avoid political suicide from grain farmers. And not I'm not saying it's a government conspiracy, I'm just saying they are the last to adapt to new research...

While I don't refute your post. I will say that although the commentator posted studies showing increased AA does not increase inflammatory makers, there are many more studies that show that an increase in omega-6 or decrease in omega-3 increases inflammation within the body. There is always a skeptic though.
