[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 78206, member: 16042"] Hey Dave Barry, It's been a few years and my memory is a bit fuzzy about it now, but I stopped using any significant amount of flax because: The source of Omega 3 in flax ALA-Alpha linoleic acid needs to be converted to EPA and DHA in the human body, but human physiology does not do this conversion well. So for example, vegans have much lower blood concentrations of usable omega 3 compared to those who eat high omega 3 fish or take fish oil. (Also seems there was a common inability to convert ALA with some genetic factor/ blood type or something like that). -Flax has estrogenic effect on men. Is there more recent info on flax as source of omega 3 and it's estrogenic effects? Thanks. I'd just like to re-evaluate for my own use if the wisdom has chaged [/QUOTE]
