Omega 3 and omega 6 are both fats. Specifically, they are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
It’s important to be mindful of how much omega 3 and omega 6 we eat and drink, because these fats are incorporated into all the cells of the body, both normal and cancer cells.
See if it lists the “Polyunsaturated Fats” (PUFA). Omega 3 and Omega 6 are both polyunsaturated fats. Most labels will not list out the amount of Omega 6. Since most foods have higher amounts of Omega 6 compared to Omega 3, I assume the total amount of “Polyunsaturated Fats” is the amount of Omega 6 in that food.

I look for healthy restaurants and food options when I'm at MD Anderson. Cafeterias and cafes at MD Anderson, casual sit-down restaurants, take out places or even supermarkets that don't break the wallet!
I'll be adding to the list as I venture around more!
After your flight is booked, you may want to rent a car during your visit to MD Anderson. There are two different airports that service Houston, so you have to make sure the car rental is from the airport that your flight is arriving into! The two airports are:
George Bush Intercontinental/ Houston Airport - IAH
Traveling to various places for medical appointments or treatments gets quite expensive after a while. Thankfully there are discounts for cancer patients at certain hotels.
