Omega 3:6 ratio not best way to assess fat sources?

This meta study suggests initially that looking at omega 3 in fat sources may be better then the ratio of omega 3:6 as commonly thought.

It does not discuss the value in minimizing Omega 6 (seed oils, frying, processed foods and nuts)

A good strategy may be to reduce the Omega 6 consumed via all sources (even nuts and cooking with high heat/olive oil) while focusing on fats such as coconut oil, fatty fish, avocado and olive oil.
