Reply With QuoteSafflower oil is an ok oil to use, it is about 75% Linoleic acid (an omega-6) with only about 10% being saturated fats. It doesn't really have any omega-3 in, so it is not going to correct your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio's (and for that reason it is not as good as flaxseed or walnut oils, which do have omega-3s) and is certainly not as good as fish oil (which have special omega-3 fats - DHA and EPA).Originally Posted by mawi_wowie
As for the shake -Why the whipping cream?? There are FAR, FAR preferable sources of fats than this! What do you want from the shake?

A shake question
i recenly bought some safflower oil, couldn't find flaxseed. Is safflower still good to use? i know it isn't anything compared to flax but its something right? For the shakes... would you want to mix both whipping cream and oil together? or one day use cream, and the other oil?

from what i have been reading, the whipping cream was used as a substitute for milk, since it was low in carbs and sugar.

Anyway, you could also just use the safflower oil over salads or use it to cook with...
