Most Malaysians consume too much of the omega-6 oil found in meats and most vegetable oils. In contrast, they do not consume adequate amounts of the omega-3 oils, which lead to an increased risk for heart disease and about 60 other conditions, including cancer, arthritis, stroke, high blood pressure, skin disease and diabetes. Particularly important to good health are the longer chain omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found in fish, especially cold-water fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring and halibut.
