Too Many Omegas?

Last week Dustin was reading something on his iphone and then said to me, "I think I'm going to try this Bulletproof coffee thing."

My eyebrow raised a little.

"It's low-toxin coffee with butter and coconut oil in it."

Okay, now I raised both of my eyebrows.  I was thinking, what? and why mess with a good thing? Cafe au lait is a good thing!

Upon explanation I learned the reasoning behind it.  Anyone familiar with the 'Warrior Diet?'  Basically it's fasting until early afternoon, doing an exerting workout in a fasted state, then eating for the remainder of the evening.  It's based on the idea that our ancestors had to hunt for food and then fight to kill it, then brought it to homebase and feasted in the evening.

Another diet, I say.  Not one I should try considering my recent hypoglycemic episode in Vegas (ask me later if you really want the details).  Good for those who don't like choking down a cup of oatmeal and raisins first thing in the morning.  The coffee drink still has a meal's worth of calories in it, but will not feel like it. 

Alas, we are now buying grassfed cow's butter from Trader Joes that's $6/lb., plus extra virgin expeller pressed organic coconut oil for D's coffee.  The claims are that the omega 3 to omega-6 amounts in this butter is a 1-1; which is supposedly the perfect balance.  I think we're advised not to have too many omega-6's (think vegetable oils or margerine) in our diet.   I will admit that I really like this butter for its flavor and it's really yellow!  Remember old pictures of butter?  We put the Kerrygold butter on the dish next to the generic store-brand butter and wow!  The difference in hue is great, and if it offers some health benefit.
So this raises the question; how much is too much omega?  Fish oil, flax seeds, cultured butter.  Where does it end and what constitutes too much?  What can I say?  We are trying to nourish our bodies the best way we know how.   And... the coffee tastes fine.  I had to try it!!  Has the mouthfeel of a creamy cup of coffee, but is still rich in roasted flavor.  Definitely worth the experience if you are a coffee lover.  I still prefer my whipping cream in coffee :P
