What is the difference between Flax Seed oil and Olive Oil?

[WallyWorld637]

I have noticed the some diets on here mix flax seed oil with tuna. Can you use olive oil instead?

The ratio of ***** 3 to ***** 6 fatty acids is different. Flax is higher in ***** 3 acids which most people don't get enough of. Yeah, you can use olive oil, but make sure you are getting enough ***** 3 rich sources of food like free-range animals and flax elsewhere.

Olive oil is saturated, flax is unsaturated. Both are ok.

The meg-3 in flax is in the form of alpha lineoic acid which must convert to epa and dha before being used...olive oil i believe has both already...
