omega 3&6 fats are considered to be good for you. they are unsaturated so they have a double bond in their structure. even unsaturated fat in excess is bad. fish oil supplements which contain these raise one's cholesterol a little. but supplementing with vitamin E at the same time curves that. so maybe the food is contaminated with other trace minerals like mercury in the case of fish
