Higher levels of omega-3 acids in the blood increases life expectancy by almost five years
Huge result, though association only - causation not shown
I want to show how this implicates seed oils in mortality

Original paper
Similar results have been seen in several other studies.
While this is framed as benefits of consuming fish or fish oils, the omega-3 index also depends on the consumption of omega-6, abundant in seed oils academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-a…

Omega-3 index is a measure of the amount of omega-3 in red blood cells
When omega-6 consumption is high, omega-3 index is low
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in tissues decreases with higher omega-6 content
When omega-6 consumption is high, omega-3 index is low
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in tissues decreases with higher omega-6 content
Omega-6 content in tissues increases with increasing consumption of seed oils, and omega-3 index declines
One estimate is that omega-3 index has declined by ~60% during the 20th century due to increasing seed oil consumption

In different populations, tissue omega-6 correlates with coronary heart disease mortality.
So, higher omega-6 (seed oil) consumption leads to lower omega-3 index, which is associated with higher mortality
