Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 n-3 is obtained in 1 tbls of soy oil. ----- Original Message ----- From: paultheo2000 Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2003 10:34 AM Subject: [ ] Flax and omega 3? What are the thoughts on flax here? It appears as though flax (excessn-3 in general) is carcinogenic and highly susceptible to oxidation.As well, only about 15% of its n-3 content actually gets converted toEPA/DHA. Fish is definitely a better source of n-3 and if more is notany better... maybe extra flax is just increasing caloric intake andrisks of cancer?Thoughts?- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
