Re: flaxseed
A few bullet points summarizing what I have read:
-Use the milled seed, not the oil. Your body processes the seed nutrients much better AFAIK.
-Fish oil is way preferable.
-Flaxseed mixed in with oatmeal or cottage cheese or shakes or yogurt gives a good texture (my opinion).
-You should limit your flax intake or just replace it with walnuts and other oils as it supposedly has a bunch of links to phytoestrogens.
