Facts: 1. Omega-3 and Omega-6 compete for enzyme to get broken down in the body. Therefore, they have competition. 2. The ideal balance of Omega-6 and Omega-3 is 2:1, and the maximum is 4:1. 3. Omega-3 is anti-inflammatory, omega-3 is pro-inflammatory Questions: 1. What's the mechanism of Omega-6 damaging nerves? 2. How do Omega-6 decrease the conversion of Omega-3 by occupying the enzyme? Although the concenration changes the amount of Omega-3 remains. Is there a chemical equilibrium in this process?
Lauren, Your slides are blurry, but I'm not sure why. When we do this again, do a test run and see if you can correct that. You have some great diagrams that I think would be even more useful if I could see all the details.
Some areas to elaborate on: - Is there an effect if the individual has more enzymatic activity than another person? - Is there a specific reason why omega 6s accelerate free radical formation? - Should we find out more information about the clotting effects of omega 3s? - Good idea for future research: Maybe you can find more about ROS and RNS (which would link with the free radical comment I made earlier).

Overall, a job well done.
