Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6 PUFA) are well known for their critical role in many physiological functions and reduce risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, some argue that excessive consumption of n-6 PUFA may lead to adverse effects on health and therefore recommend reducing dietary n-6 PUFA intake or fixing an upper limit. Epidemiological studies show that n-6 PUFA dietary intake significantly lowers blood LDL-cholesterol levels. In addition, n-6 PUFA intake lower several cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure, inflammatory markers, haemostatic parameters and obesity. Data from prospective cohort and interventional studies converge towards a specific protective role of dietary n-6 PUFA intake, in particular linoleic acid, against CVD. In regards to studies examined in this narrative review, recommendation for n-6 PUFA intake above 5%, and ideally about 10% of total energy appears justified for the prevention of ischemic heart disease.
