There seems to be confusion about this. The muffins contain flaxseed meal not oil (which is destroyed by heat) and the active ingredient is lignan not omega 3.
The oil (active ingredient ALA omega 3) also has anti cancer effects.

Both are good for her 2+.

There is a wealth of studies on both available.
