Can Flax Oil go bad?

I believe the brand I currently have is Rexall.

The bottle says "for optimum freshness please refrigerate after opening."

I usually do that but forgot 2 nights ago and left it sitting by the blender. Went ahead and made another shake anyway... Since then I've felt a bit weird in the ole stomach area. Nothin major. Just wandering if I let my flax oil go bad and need to buy more?

Anyone know more on this?

An expert will come along shortly, but YES flax seed oil can go bad.

Well I will leave it out of my breakfast today. Pretty cheap so no big deal to throw it out and keep the next one cold

I switched to fish oil anyway since there is some who believe flax seed oil is tied to prostate cancer in men. I am not sure I buy it, but since there is a good alternative...why not?

Plus the body needs to convert Flax to EPA DHA, where as that is provided in Fishoil

Hadn't considered that at all. Never heard of the cancer tie in either. Hmm. You've given me a bit of research to do.

I wouldn't use it if it's been out for 2 days no. It's probably rancid by now.
