A. “You can get enough of those fats by eating more processed snack foods.” B. “Those fats are harmful and should be avoided as much as possible.” C. “Omega-3 and omega-6 fats are essential, so eating foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and vegetable oils can be beneficial.” D. “Only omega-6 fats are essential, so focus on those and avoid omega-3s.”

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. “You can get enough of those fats by eating more processed snack foods.”

Processed snacks are often high in trans fats and unhealthy omega-6s, and rarely contain omega-3s. Not a recommended source.

B. “Those fats are harmful and should be avoided as much as possible.”

This is incorrect. Omega-3 and omega-6 fats are essential fatty acids, needed for various body functions. They cannot be synthesized by the body.

C. “Omega-3 and omega-6 fats are essential, so eating foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and vegetable oils can be beneficial.”

These are healthy sources of essential fats that support heart and brain health.

D. “Only omega-6 fats are essential, so focus on those and avoid omega-3s.”

Both omega-3 and omega-6 fats are essential and must be obtained from the diet. Omega-3s, in particular, have anti-inflammatory benefits.
