Abstract in brief

Omega-6 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat found in many plant oils like soybean, corn, and sunflower oil, which are common in our diets.
The relationship between omega-6 intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is complex; some studies suggest they may help reduce inflammation and heart risk, while others indicate that high consumption might promote inflammation if not balanced with omega-3 fatty acids.
Overall, the key is maintaining a balanced intake of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids for better heart health, rather than focusing on reducing omega-6s alone.]
