ω-6:3 ratio

edit

The column headed "ω-6:3 ratio" in the section 'Composition of fats' seems to have two things wrong with it. There are twenty entries in it and eighteen are numeric (with two as "very high" and one blank, since it would be the ratio of 0:0!) Nine of the entries ARE ratios, ie, they have two numbers separated by a colon, eg, 4.5:1, and nine are not. That's the first wrong thing, which is minor if the other nine could all have ":1" added, or the first nine could have their ":1" removed. The other wrong thing is that two other columns contain ω-6 and ω-3, and so this column might be expected to be the one divided by the other, and for those oils with the ":1" in the ratio column, it is. But for the other nine, it clearly isn't, so possibly two editors are editing this data with two different ideas in mind, but I am not a food scientist and I've no idea how to correct this.
