I think you only need about 2 tablespoons a day. I am more careful about this because I am ER+ and really don't want to overdo. I put 1/4 cup in the pancake batter (made with Bisquick which is 2 c bisquick, 2 eggs, 1c milk - I am just putting in the portions so you get a good idea. I end up needing alittle more milk since the ground flax is like "alittle more" bisquick in a way).

Too much flax probably won't do harm but then the muffin, cereal, yogurt, pancake might not taste as good then you won't want to use it but it really does taste good. And as far as the pancakes are concerned, it makes them better for everyone in the family (especially my 15 yr old who only eats white food or macaroni and cheese).
