HI all
If you search for flax seed or flaxseed + phytoestrogens there are a lot of posts on this site looking at the pros and cons including discussion as to whether to use oil or seed.

I do not understand what basis the advice eat seed not oil comes from. There is an argument for using phytogen free oil, and others argue the phytoestrogens are beneficial, and I would based on previous reading be on that side of the scale.
Recent trials which both fall in favour of flax seed.
