As for omega-6 fatty acids, we get them so much from various foods,
most often too much, so that it would be very difficult, almost
impossible, to construct a palatatable diet, which would have too
low omega-6 content.

http://www.commonvoice.com/article.asp?colid=5978 shows that butter
and beef tallow are extremely low in omega 6 (and omega 3) fatty
acids. In the study, the Mediterranean diet used olive oil instead of
the canola oil which was used in the original Mediterranean diet
study. (Olive oil is low in both omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids).

Is there any study that shows that substituting omega 6 fatty acids
for SFA or MUFA is unhealthy in terms of cardio-vascular disease?
