Flax oils are omega3 oils, so you are already taking some. " Omega-3 fatty acids (or oils) are highly polyunsaturated fatty acids found in abundance in most oily/fatty fish such as salmon, sardines mackerel and tuna as well as in plant sources such as canola oil, wheat germ oil, flaxseed and walnuts. " http://www.supplementwatch.com/suplib/supplement.asp?DocId=1201 So fish are your next primary source of essential fatty acids. What kind of oil do you cook with? Here's a primer EFA's and on types of oils: http://www.udoerasmus.com/FAQ/FAQ_index_en.htm joni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Joni, I was hoping that was the case. Actually I think I did know that. I had just finished reading an article on another site and totally blocked out that I was already taking some:) Thank you for your very informative and gentle response:) For as much as I search the Internet, I could have found the answer myself instead of asking such an idiotic question:) > > I have a question about the flax oil.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 No question is idiotic! You probably just helped someone else out that didn't know that information. > > > I have a question about the flax oil.
