1 Calculations were done using multiple decimal places, but results are rounded for display purposes; 2 SD = standard deviation; 3 Omega-6 Fatty Acids = (PUFA 18:2 (linoleic acid) + PUFA 18:3 (linolenic acid)) – PUFA 18:3 n-3 (α-linolenic acid) + PUFA 20:4 (arachidonic acid); 4 denominator kcals = (g protein × 4) + (g carbohydrate × 4) + (g fat × 9) + (g alcohol × 7).
