Researchers looked at measures of anxiety, angry hostility, depression, self-consciousness, impulsivity and vulnerability.

Amazingly, all but 'vulnerability' correlated with omega-3 and omega-6 concentrations in the blood. Folks that had more of a specific omega-3, called EPA, had better scores (less neurotic) and those with higher levels of an omega-6, called AA, had worse scores (more neurotic). The studies, published by Conklin et al. in Psychosomatic Medicine, are the first to link the omega fats to neuroticism in otherwise healthy adults.It's all in the Balancing Act.  Alpha ZXT I have written several articles in the past talking about the importance of maintaining a good omega-3 to omega-6 balance in your diet. In light of the new data associating both types of omegas with neuroticism, in opposite directions, a few more details seem pertinent.First off, you can't really label omega-3s as 'good' and omega-6s as 'bad'. We need them both, but we need them in balance. Nutritionists believe that the perfect balance lies somewhere between 1:1 and 1:5 of 3s to 6s, and this is probably what we ate throughout most of history, up to about 100 years ago.Today, the average western diet is about 1:20 in favor of omega-6s.  http://www.musclegainhelp.com/neuro3x/
