Re: Flax seed oil
The Livestrong article is very easy to understand. I saw that they have several other articles on the subject to read. I buy the smallest amounts I can of flax meal and flax oil and alternate between the two. Flax meal probably gives us some fiber which has benefits of its own and the oil can be used when the flax meal is not convenient to use. I add a little flax meal to some cereals or use a little flax oil in some smoothies, especially when I have not had any salmon or unsalted walnuts for several days.
It is probably best to keep flax in the refrigerator, especially in warm climates like India and Hawaii.
Perhaps our dietician, Tanya would like to comment on this topic for us.
