Guest guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I am a fan of nut butter but one has eat lightly. Lots of calories in them. Also, be sure and get your nut butter from Whole foods or similar place without any additives. Regular supermarket nut butters have added sugar, salt and more.

The reason I ask this is because of my dentures and the ability to properly chew nuts. I want the effects of polys in my diet. I don't like just taking the oils of say flaxseed because it goes bad after a while in the fridge. I want the synergy of the food but resist the taking of oils. Is this a wrong approach? I am not that comfortable eating fish anymore. I want to stay on the vegetarian side of this. How can you know that what you are actually getting is fish oil? Maybe they just tell you it is fish oil and substitute something else. Or is that too paranoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Have you tried ground flaxseeds (flax meal) instead of flax oil? It's an excellent source of Omega-3 and is good in hot cereals, baked goods, smoothies, etc. I buy inexpensive organic flaxseeds, grind them up in a coffee grinder, and store the remaining flaxmeal in the refrigerator. -Dave " I don't like just taking the oils of say flaxseed because it goes bad after a while in the fridge.
