Flax Seed Help!

[JLo]

I seem to remember a thread about flax seed oil. My search engine is not working properly and would like to see if anyone could find that thread and post it here. I would appreciate it!

Thanks.

I put 1 Tbsp of flax either in a shake, on my salad or on my veggies...what do you want to know about it?

 

[JLo]

Well, I keep hearing about people on the boards taking it. I want to know why take it - what is the benefit of taking flax seed and how much should be taken a day, etc....

Thanks Spatts !! I really appreciate your time !

The short answer is that Flax is a good source of good quality fats so you dont' start thinking u can count the fat content of those Ding Dongs as that 20% F part of your diet. I think "flax seed oil" is not a complete source of all the essential fatty acids (EFAs) you should have - Dr. Udo has some good stuff. And it also helps to give you full, shiny fur & no dry skin ... oh wait, that's my cat. Never mind.

Here you go - thx to spats:

Oh Noooooo

I'm was already a little worried about it... I have a *super* weak stomach, I mean I am a major wuss with that & can get naseous at the mere *thought* of things I find sickening - like super greasy food.

Based on other posts, I know there's no way I could handle doing a 'shot' of it - but I had planned to pick up some today & try it on food or mixed with other stuff. I know I need more fat & after reading the benefits of Dr. Udo's I hope I can stomach it!

I make a vinaigrette out of my flax seed oil. The taste is nutty.

One thing to note- this oil goes rancid FAST! I keep some in a separate container and keep the rest in the freezer. Works for me.
