Can Polyunsaturated Fats Contribute to Inflammation?

While both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential, an excessive intake of omega-6 fats, relative to omega-3s, can contribute to inflammation. This is due to the pro-inflammatory properties of arachidonic acid, a metabolite of omega-6 fatty acids. Maintaining a balanced ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is important for mitigating inflammation-related health issues.
