Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 hi Bhaw, There are three brands of organic low fat cottage cheese I've tried from my Whole Foods - 's, Horizon, and Cascadian Farms. I use the 's Organic low fat cottage cheese. It does have a lot of sodium in it, but it's from sea salt, so that's at least a better kind of salt to have, rather than regular table salt. I like the taste better than the Horizon or Cascadian organic brands. take care, Carol what brand of cottage cheese do you use? Cottage cheese available at whole foods, etc seem to have so many addiditives in them and are high in sodium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 The problem with flax oil is how it turns rancid really fast, and can be fairly rancid before it's detected by people. What I've heard is that IF it's been pressed as coolly as possible and shipped and stored refrigerated or frozen, it still needs to be used within about a month of pressing and within a couple of weeks of opening as long as it is kept frozen. It's much safer to fresh grind the seeds at each use, tho that wouldn't work for the baby. We learned about this and quit using it for my daughter and myself back in 1998. Take care, Alice - HSing mom to Alice (DS) born Thanksgiving Day 1995 :-) Hopewell Junction, NY http://users.bestweb.net/~castella Flax oil I am new to WAP/Nourishing Traditions and I am just beginning reading the book. Can anyone explain the role of flax oil in this diet? Previous to this I have been giving it to my baby and taking it sometimes myself for supplementation.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 actually i have also ground flax seeds in a blade coffee grinder and it gets fine enough to put in yogurt or pureed foods. It's never been a problem. any other comments welcome.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I grind flax seed with wheat to make flour. I put 6 cups of wheat and 1 cup of flax in the Whisper Mill, mix it together (because straight flax seed makes the grinder jam up--ask me how I know), and then turn the mill on. My youngest is allergic to flax seed oil of all things. (She's allergic to other things too.) That allergy made me mad, since I was trying to be healthy, after all. But she's fine with cod liver oil.

Since she is ok with CLO, you can try fish oil, which is high in EPA and DHA. Fish oil is much superior to flax oil when it comes to these essential fatty acids. I believe flax oil only provides ALA, which is a precursor to the long chain EPA and DHA and most people cannot make the required conversion. -Pratick Discover Stay in touch with email, IM, photo sharing and more.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 You ladies are on a roll. TY! I wont give up my selenium!!! or C or E. I could forgo the rest I suppose, maybe. I heard today too that selenium is a precursor to thryorid. I am cautious of the thryoid supplements, so suppose it a good thing I at least supplement with selenium. Maybe on a rotating basis. Will have to look at this closer. To answer your question , or not from my limited scope of antatomy and physiology...ATP has to do with the biogogy of the cell, the energy production. Of note, I could not do the budwig diet either as the cottage cheese reaked havoc with me. That and I had done flax seeds for years and this prior to the cancer diagnosis. I think I am one of those people who can not process it and as such am using borage oil for the GLA, EPA/DHAs from fish oil and cod liver oil. I have been loosing weight and have uped the doses on those and looking into a good source of organic, grass fed, open range meat.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have problems with the flax as well probably because I have no tolerance for fat, as I don't eat any. I stopped eating meat 18 years ago and get heartburn whenever I eat anything that has fat in it. I also gained 5 lbs in a month just from having 2 tablepoons a day of flax oil, I can imagine what would happen if I had 8? no, can't and won't do it. It is constantly recommended here to do that but not everyone can tolerate such enormous amounts of fat! How much fish oil do you take?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Another word on flax oil, many words actually, that will pretty thoroughly strip off the health myths about this oil. Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is thought to be a 'good' omega-3 oil; however, more recent science has revealed that it's a common but faulty assumption that ALA is physiologically equivalent to omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, and that there is no known need for alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) independent of its conversion to EPA/DHA. In adults the conversion rate is tiny; the US Environmental Protection Agency has posted this powerpoint presentation (slide 5) that explains less than 1% conversion of ALA to EPA (some sources say somewhat higher), and <0.01% to DHA. http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/Budwig-diet-revision.html Though these details have traditionally escaped the followers of Joanna Budwig and Udo Erasmus, fatty acids expert Dr. Floyd Chilton fully explains them in his book Inflammation Nation. Chilton says (page 97), " I wish I could tell you that the (ALA) in flaxseed oil could replace wild fish as a rich source of EPA and DHA but the scientific literature simply does not support this contention. ...We do the conversion but very slowly, and we also eat a lot of fatty acids such as LA that 'compete' for enzymes that convert ALA to EPA and DHA, further limiting its conversion. " This competition is most pronounced in the common condition of low EPA/DHA and higher omega-6 fatty acid intake seen in the modern diet. Budwig and her followers including Udo Erasmus also purport flax oil might somehow supply the needed fatty acids to rebuild cell walls so they can carry more oxygen and etc., by supplying ALA; however, cell walls actually contain negligible ALA and are high in EPA and DHA. This explains why for more than maintenance you may need vastly more EPA and DHA than an ALA supplement can provide, and why fish oil supplements are more popular for inflammation. For these reasons flax oil seems a less brilliant choice for biological support in humans than it did 50 years ago.
