Fish Oil Blog
Removed reference to Fish Oil Blog .com which is clearly a commercial site and violates Wikipedia standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.8.190.84 (talk) 02:48, December 25, 2005
Commercial Site?
I would like to know why you think that Fish Oil Blog is a commercial site. It has ads, but that's all it seems like to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.41.37.146 (talk) 10:24, January 6, 2006
Tiny
Such a tiny page for a vital nutriment ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.228.213.254 (talk) 16:16, April 18, 2006
margarine ?
can we be serious here, margarine is full of trans fatty acids from hydrogenisation ! Let's cite the good sources! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.228.213.254 (talk) 16:19, April 18, 2006
- Citing your name is good format too. Also, margarine does not have to contain trans fats, it's only common so as to increase shelf life and viscosity. Rhetth 12:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Monounsaturated n-6?
Is there such thing as 18:1 (n-6)? If not in nature, could this potentially be created by the partial-hydrogenation process? Frankg 23:44, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Polyunsaturated fat?
I'm guessing Omega 6 is a polyunsaturated fat, but is that true and should it be in the article somewhere? Rhetth 12:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Chemically, all ?-6 fatty acids are mono- or polyunsaturated. Mono forms may exist in trace amount in nature but are not known to be nutritionally significant. All the abundant ?-6 fatty acids (i.e. the ones in the table) are polyunsaturated. David.Throop 14:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Incidentally, this is related to my question above. :) Frankg 17:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- OK, OK. I'll say that after many long nights of surfing the web, I haven't come up with any references to ?-6 monosaturates. I've also only seen one reference to any ?-3 or -6 that has less than 18 carbons. None with an odd number of carbons. The article that would mention it if it existed, but doesn't, is [1] Search down for 'spinach' to see the discussion of 16 carbon ?-3. On the other hand, any of those are clearly chemically possible. But they apparently play no role in human nutrition or physiology. As to whether 18:1 ?-6 might be formed during hyrdogenation — seems plausible, but I've not seen it substantiated.

merge
I think we can merge this into Fatty Acid.RYNORT 07:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'd agree that this article does not stand on its own well. Essential fatty acid or Polyunsaturated fat would be a more promising merge target, though.
- The list of ?-6 fats duplicates what's at Polyunsaturated fatty acid
- David.Throop (talk) 16:33, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- So what do you recomend?RYNORT 17:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- Seems to me that the ? fatty acids should be all in one article, which would be a separate article from fatty acids generally. Aramis1250 (talk) 17:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Very important in physiology and pathophysiology
This important class of vitamin-like compounds is converted to highly potent hormone-like eicosanoids. This section merits stronger documentation and comparison with the entry for 'omega-3 fatty acids'.Morelipids (talk) 04:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
