Hemp seed oil has a perfect natural balance of 0mega 3 and 6. (It also tastes superb)

The only downside is that it can cause false positives in some drug tests (the seeds contain no THC but there are enough bits of leaves in the process to cause trace amounts - not enough to cause any effects other than false positives but those effects can be DEVASTATING in some circumstances: loss of employment etc.

Companies in the USA generally have no concern whatsoever about the possibility of false positives and are reluctant to make any attempt to make distinctions requiring judgement (that reluctance is exactly why they feel the supposed need for drug testing anyway. If drug use (including legal drugs like alcohol) are causing problems with an employee's performance it's far more effective to sort out the problems by the impairments in performance. After all, impaired performance is caused by a great deal of other things as well and you supposedly want to sort them out as well right? So spend the effort going after directly related evidence rather than some very poorly correlated evidence just because that's easier.

Of course a management incompetent at making distinctions on the basic of real evidence will go for drug tests because it's all they are competent to handle whether the results are useful or not (or even do more harm than good!) (and therein lies the real source of the problems)
