    flax seed??

    my diet includes many sources of flax seed in it. my bread, some snacks, and i take flax seed oil. now today i was told that flax seed is not good for guys because it binds to estrogen and increases it or something along those lines. he said just to stick to cod liver oil for my *****-3's. anybody hear of this?

    I call BS unless you got something to back it up. Flax is a good thing to include in the diet. But by all means it never hurts to mix up your sources of EFA's.

    I have heard that yea, but the amount you're taking is pretty moderate, hence the effect will be minimal.
