This product is advertised in the catalog as "full of omega-3 and omega-9". If you read the label, you can determine that it is 57% omega-6. Swanson, as most sellers of unsaturated fatty acids, refrains from declaring the omega-6 in their products because there is so much bad publicity on omega-6.
Actually, walnut oil is one of the best sources of omega-6 fatty acid in terms of the percentage, and there is nothing at all wrong with omega-6 when it is eaten from a source such as this cold-pressed oil. All the bad publicity on omega-6 is because of the ruined oil you get from cheap commercial seed oils (corn, soy, safflower, sunflower, etc.) and from foods that have been fried or cooked with those oils, where, if the oil wasn't spoiled to begin with, the heat from the baking, frying, etc. will have ruined the omega-6 in the oils.
The thing to remember is to reduce your intake of junk/fried/processed foods, and get healthy portions of both the essential fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6. This Walnut Oil supplement give you BOTH. You can use it, as I do, to make mayonnaise and salad dressing that will be healthy, and far superior to anything you can buy in even a health food store. Swanson has a recipe for mayonnaise. Try it! My recipe is slightly different, using only Walnut Oil instead of the Walnut/Olive combination in the Swanson recipe. I love it.
