Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is generally true for conventionally raised chicken, but not for all chicken. 🐔 Conventionally grain-fed chicken has a high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids (often above 15:1), which is considered pro-inflammatory. However, pasture-raised chicken has a much healthier ratio (around 5:1). For comparison, grass-fed beef can have a ratio as low as 1:1, which is considered optimal. A high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in the human diet is associated with chronic diseases, so the type of chicken really matters. 🥩
