Essential fatty acids play a part in many metabolic processes, and there is evidence to suggest that low levels of essential fatty acids, or the wrong balance of types among the essential fatty acids, may transfat; trans fats; trans fatty acid be a factor in a number of illnesses. The IUPAC Lipid Handbook (in .pdf format) provides a very large and detailed listing of fat contents of animal and vegetable fats, including ω-3 and -6 oils. The National Institutes of Health's EFA Education group publishes 'Essential Fats in Food Oils.' This lists 40 common oils, more tightly focused on EFAs and sorted by n-6:3 ratio. Stuchlik and Zak, 'Vegetable Lipids as Components of Functional Food' (in .pdf format) list notable vegetable sources of EFAs as well as commentary and an overview of the biosynthetic pathways involved.
