In reply to omega-6 fat intake massively correlated to violenc, posted by Larry Hoover on March 23, 2005, at 10:30:34
hmm.. a comparison of Australia in 1962 with the US in 1990's regarding suicide..and then compare with linoleic intake in perhaps typical diets?
Guess ya don't want my opinion on that one :-))Also "correlations between greater linoleic acid disappearance and homicide mortality over time were significant in linear regression models" does not make that much sense to me...mayvbe its too early in the day and I need some caffeine though
Are they trying to do a grain percentage of diet comparison or just stating more fats in diet ..or maybe just more grains?? (there are, I think, linoleic acids in omega 3's and omega 9's too , and ALA's and CLA's as well.. so for me that is pretty confusing http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_g2603/is_0004/ai_2603000490 scroll down page)anyway..assuming they are trying to say more omega6 grain based diet and violence..what about tradtional societies..IMO fairly violent, or the middle ages or even a couple of centuries ago? My understanding is they were more violent than now..but perhaps I don't have an accurate picture ..I wasn't there after all.
Australia in early 60's was probably one of the least "violent" societies they could pick for a comparison (anything wpuld be les violent.... Why not pick some other year or country:-)
