They call this high n–3 PUFA in a low-fat (i.e. high carb) context a
superior eating pattern ...

You>re right, but many in the USA, have considerably more than that.

Soybean oil contains 7% alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which is an omega
3 fatty acid. The human body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA forms of
omega 3 fatty acids.

Soybean oil has about 6.7-7.4% omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid compared
with about 9.1-10.9% in rapeseed oil.

Japanese are completely lost in science unless they are guided by
their American Big brothers ... They had better getting back to their
roots and trashing the high rice/carb diet and moving to the Siberian/
Himalayan glaciers where they have evolved their original physiology.
