Flaxseed oil? What is the benefit?

[WannaBeStrong]

I have read that a few of you take this or add it to something. Why? What is the benefit of this? Someone enlighten me.

Thanks,
Shirley

I use it in the ground form which I have read is alot more benficial to you than the oil. Check out this link if you get time http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/foods_view/1,1523,328,00.html .......Carole

I also like ground flaxseed. I usually grind my own (a week's worth at a time) from whole seeds. This week, I got lazy, and bought some flaxseed meal, which I keep in the freezer.

Flaxseed oil will not last as long as the whole or ground flax before going rancid.

I have been getting golden flax from Now Foods, which is a bit tastier, IMO, than the regular stuff. Nicely nutty. And prettier, too!
