Flaxseed instead of Fish Oil

[atomic sagebrush]

I am also taking flaxseed myself
does this hurt my blue swaying ...

It is fine as long as you are taking significantly more fish oil or other Omega 3 like Krill Oil, than you are the flaxseed.

Bumping this because I would like to know now too! And BTW atomic I read the back of the pill bottle and there are omegas 6 and 9 so I took DH off of them! Thanks!

Just for anyone who is wondering, Omega 9's are a bit of a marketing gimmick, you do not need to ingest them becasue your body makes them all on its own out of other fats.

Hi,

I just saw a research article about men consuming more saturated fat tend to have poorer quality of semen. Doesnt that sway pink?
Just wondering....

No, saturated fat intake as a part of an otherwise healthy diet sways BLUE. People need saturated fat to make the sex hormones and you can't do without them. It has been demonstrated that animals fed diets high in fats had way more male offspring.

That study was flawed because people with unhealthy diets tend to eat more saturated fats, and overweight guys also tend to eat more sat. fat and also have lower sperm count due to their weight. so really all it measured was "people with unhealthy diets and who are overweight have lower sperm quality".

Blue swayers, have your husband eat a reasonable amount of saturated fat as a part of an otherwise healthy diet including omega 3 fats (fish oil, olive oil) and also 9-11 servings of colorful fruits and veg a day.

We have found a new "sway butter" that we LOVE! And I have been using it with cooking everything (along with Olive Oil) it is a smart balance and it is in a square container and it advertises on that container that it is full of omega 3!

What is the best way to get Omega 3's? I'm trying to decide what sups to buy, and don't know if I can get this DHA/EFA supplement (which reportedly doesn't taste like fish oil, and so I won't be burping up fish oil all the time! LOL) It's made up of 2100+mg molecularly distilled fish oil and contains 800 mg EFA and 400mg DHA. Does that look good? Or should I find something that is just straight fish oil capsules? Also, I guess Cod LIver oil is not good because of the high VIt A? So which fish oil is the best? Salmon or Krill?

Thanks!

this is the link to the supp I was talking about: Vitacost Mega EFA® Omega-3 EPA & DHA Fish Oil -- 2126 mg per serving - 240 Softgels - Vitacost

I would rather you guys ahd real butter because the smart balance is designed to lower cholesterol and we don't want that for your sway.

sorry I know this seems ridonkulously complex sometimes.

real foods = boys

frankenfoods = bad for you even when they seem like they should be good

that one is fine but I would take half the dose (the dose is 2 pills so you would just take one). sky high doses of fish oil will lower your cholesterol and that is not good for your blue sway

i prefer people stay away from cod liver oil, so anythign without the high amount of Vit. A in it
