rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/02/17, 12:11 PM Correct feelnfit. Fish oils are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids which provides DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid). DHA is good for a healthy heart, and for healthy nervous system development and support. EPA is important for the circulatory system.

The prob is today that too many people eat too much saturated fat (and not the poly and mono insaturated ones). While the second ones (insaturated -as you find in fish and nuts) will make you everything good, the first ones (ice cream, cheese, butter) will just make you fat!

rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/02/18, 12:15 PM I can't find this stuff in my local grocery store. And, yes Nina, is there a reason for why this is illegal over there?

rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/02/18, 12:23 PM Is that good for you (mixing the flax seed with olive oil)? I usually just use balsamic vinegar and virgin olive oil as salad dressing.
mikencharleston Posts: 1,585 Joined: 2002/01/09	2002/02/18, 01:49 PM I also mix mine with my salad dressing but haven't thought about whether the combination of olive oil would help or hurt. Walmart carries flax oil here and it's about 1/2 the price as GNC's

feelnfit Posts: 87 Joined: 2002/02/03	2002/02/18, 02:01 PM i actually use red wine vinegar and yes virgin oil
feelnfit Posts: 87 Joined: 2002/02/03	2002/02/18, 02:08 PM ok mono and poly are the good fats and olive oil is high in this. these are some of th efats the body needs. david
Alorle Posts: 196 Joined: 2001/10/07	2002/02/18, 10:20 PM ACK! DO NOT BUY FLAX OIL FROM WALMART!!! Okay, unless your walmart is different from mine, they keep it on the shelves. Flax oil must be kept in the dark (hence the dark bottle) and refrigerated or frozen. If the oil is exposed the heat, it quickly deteriorates and turns rancid. I'd say the oil would last maybe 24 hours on the shelf, and who knows how many weeks it's been there! Please see these sites for more info regarding flax oil and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids! http://www.barleans.com http://udoerasmus.com/firstscreen.html-ssi
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/02/19, 02:49 AM Don't know why flax oil is illegal here, but I'll find out why and tell you. Olive oil is good. Lots of Omega 9 and a little Omega 6 fat. Not much Omega 3 so you need to get that else where (like in flax seed oil) Finally, please David group your letters.

Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/02/22, 02:50 AM David I posted my letter BEFORE my new title. Please stay serious, and if you have anything else to say, write a private letter to me. -------------- - Nina :o)
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/03/01, 02:44 AM Okey I promised to tell you why flax seed oil is illegal in (Western) Europe. I tried to find out a little more, but the only thing I know is that it's the prob with the high quantity of vitamine K in the oil which is the reason to make the product illegal.... ): It seems like somebody one day some where took a little bit toooo much of the flax seed oil and then had some probs with blood coagulating afterwards..... SO since there was ONE fool, we ALL here gonna do without. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
