flax????

I know most are opposed on this site to flax oil due to its poor conversion to ... (im not the most science oriented, but i get the jist ) vs fish oil at least. But what about ground flax seed? Are the omega 3s in that beneficial?

I am curious about this myself.

The omega-3's in the seed aren't any better than the one's in flax oil. However, the ground seed does contain things called ligands which are healthy, as well as fiber and I believe some antioxidants as well. Don't take flax seed for the omega-3's, but it does have other beneficial properties.

sounds good, i usually try to have 2 tbsp a day, one with my oats in the morn, and another mixed with cc at night.
