                                Over the last century, the Western diet has seen a significant shift, with a major increase in n6 PUFA consumption, primarily from vegetable oils. These polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential to human health, playing critical roles in cell function, growth, and metabolism. However, modern dietary imbalances, particularly a high n6-to-n3 ratio, have been linked to various chronic inflammatory conditions.
