Default Re: flax seeds - do you eat them on a daily basis?

I did a lot of online research..i'm going back about a year ago and i didn't bookmark (i have a zillion bookmarks i'd never find them anyway!). It can take alot of research but i try to find non-sponsored studies when researching these kinds of things (notice when you type in 'flax benefits' you get flax councils, flax retailers etc).

After reading that cooking decreases the health benefits, it's tendancy for rancidity, phyto estrogen qualities etc, I decided to start using chia daily for my omega 3's and fibre. As well as i said i suspect it stalls me.

I still do use flax occaisionally/rarely. I'm not telling anyone else not to use it....everyone can make their own decision on it. This is just my personal choice is all.
