I haven't tried them, was eyeing them up at the supermarket yesterday so they are easy to get your hands on. I recently purchased Holland & Barretts coconut oil (Buy one, get one for a penny).

just found this, so look like the ratio for omega 9 doenst realy matter and its only the ration of omega 3+6???

The World Health Organization recommends a ratio of 5:1 to 10:1 omega-6 to omega-3. While a ratio between 1:1 and 4:1 is often considered as being optimal. Since most diets are very rich in omega-6 and low in omega-3, the ratio is often somewhere between 10:1 and 20:1. This is especially a problem with diets that are high in processed foods and oils. Oils like corn, safflower, sunflower and cottonseed are usually low in omega-3s. To balance the fatty acids out, it is important to eat a diet that is low in processed foods and with fat mainly coming from omega-3 fatty acids.
