Flax Seed Oil

[sinafl]

Is it ok If I marinate flax seed oil with chicken, which means it will be cooked?

yes, the double bond in unsaturated fat is pretty stable and resistant to oxidation as long as you dont burn it.

I've read the contrary....

Cooking EFA's can actually cause an adverse effect essentially converting them into unhealthy fatty acids.

Personally, I believe Flax Seed oil should be served raw over food (or taken in capsules).

Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil in moderate amounts to cook with.

Yep flaxseed oil is a no no to cook with extremely low smoking point in the low 200's.
