I am very interested in Jeff's opinion on this topic as well. 30 years ago soy was the new super food. Today flax is the new miracle food. I eat flax or take an algae based DHA pill almost every day.

When I did my searches I came across an Indian site (I didn't save the link). It said that in India most flax seed is roasted before grinding. If heat deactivates the toxin, then I would think that's the way to go....unless roasting it also diminishes the good benefits. What do you think?

I remember someone posting here on the board that flaxseed is served daily at the meals at the live-in programs. I wonder if they are suggested only for certain people who are attending, or ????
Thanks, Clary
It was in an e-mail in response to my e-mail today. I too remember the flax seeds on the breakfast food table at the live-in program. As I recall, they were not ground up (but it was 2 years ago).Clary wrote:Will you reference where he says that, please?bob2200 wrote: Dr. McDougall has said he doesn't recommend flaxseed for most people.
