Flax verses Safflower oil

[101Tazman]

Is there a difference or will they both do the same thing? Is one better then the other?

No comparison...flax is so much better!

If you are on a budget...a poor mans Udo's can be made with 1/2 flax and 1/2 safflower (refrigorate) as they are almost opposite in Omega 3's and 6's...and you create a 1:1 balance! Still flax is better!

Taz, what are you planing to do with it?

If you are talking to cook with DON`T use flax.
