    Hope this helps:

    Olive oil:
    60-80% Oleic Acid (Ome ga 9)
    5-20% Linoleic Acid (Ome ga 6)

    Flaxseed (or Linseed) Oil:
    24-50% Linolenic Acid (Ome ga 3)
    22-25% Linoleic Acid (Ome ga 6)
    15-20% Oleic Acid (Ome ga 9)

    Sesame Oil:
    35-40% Linoleic Acid (Ome ga 6)
    35-40% Oleic Acid (Ome ga 9)

    I urge you to draw your own conclusions

    cheers
