how #vegan diets are more prone to bleeding

9.6: health/diet/how vegans are more prone to bleeding:
9.10: summary:
. vegans seem more prone to bleeding;
Sears's zone diet research suggests
that there is greater risk of bleeding
when taking high-dose fish oil,
because the omega-3 oil EPA
greatly exceeds the balancing effects of
arachidonic acid (AA) omega-6 oil.
. it is quite likely that the converse is true,
those with very low levels of AA,
are going to have a bloody EPA/AA ratio
even if their EPA is not high.
. one of the richest sources of AA is egg yolk,
and AA may be why a 2018 study showed
Chinese eating one yolk daily can
reduce their risk of bleeding death.
. a great vegan source for both protein
and the omega-6 that may be converted to AA,
is chickpeas (1.1g omega-6 per 100g);
of course, nuts and seeds
are the richest source of omega-6
other than processed oils.
. chia seeds and walnuts are balanced:
chia: 5.8g omega-6, 17.5g omega-3.
walnuts: 38g omega-6, 9g omega-3;
walnuts are rich in polyphenols too.
