When it comes to health, most people focus on carbs and protein—but the type of fat you consume may be even more important. At Urvee Organic Farms, we believe in decoding food at the source. Today, we break down one of the most misunderstood fat groups: Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs).

What Are PUFAs?

PUFAs, or polyunsaturated fatty acids, are essential fats that your body needs for brain function and cell growth. They include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids—both important, but they need to be balanced.

Omega-3 (like EPA and DHA): Found in flaxseed, walnuts, and some fish oils, known to fight inflammation.

Omega-6 (like linoleic acid): Found in soybean, corn, and sunflower oils, often overconsumed in the modern diet.

PUFA Overload: A Recipe for Inflammation?

Here’s the catch: Too much omega-6 and too little omega-3 can disrupt your body's natural balance. This is a common issue with refined vegetable oils, often found in packaged foods and restaurant frying pans.

Scientific studies suggest that high PUFA intake—especially omega-6—from heavily processed oils may:

Increase oxidative stress

Promote chronic inflammation

Contribute to conditions like heart disease and arthritis

❗ Did You Know? Oils high in omega-6 oxidize faster at high temperatures, releasing toxic compounds.
