*Parent Omega 6 is [[Linoleic Acid]]. Your body converts this into [[Gamma-linolenic acid]] GLA and other compounds. Known to increase the body's production of inflammatory chemicals. Since omega-6 fatty acids help maintain bone health, regulate metabolism and promote brain function, you shouldn't cut them out of your diet altogether. However, it's important to balance your intake of omega-6 fatty acids with your intake of omega-3 fatty acids in order to keep inflammation in check.*As a polyunsaturated fatty acid, [[linoleic Acid]] is used in the biosynthesis of arachidonic acid and some prostaglandins. These substances help to facilitate inflammatory processes in your body. A lack of linoleic acid and other omega-6 fatty acids in your diet can cause dry hair, hair loss and poor wound healing. Linoleic acid is found in many food items besides peanuts, and it is nearly impossible to suffer from a linoleic acid deficiency when consuming a normal diet.
