    Per 1 tbsp
    Calories: 50
    Fat: 5g
    Saturated 0.5g
    +Trans 0g
    Polysaturated 2.5g
    *****-6 2.5g
    *****-3 0.3g
    Monosaturated 1g
    Cholesterol 5mg
    Sodium 140mg
    Carbohydrates 1g
    Fibre 0g
    Sugars 0g
    Protein 0.2g

    well derek woudl have great input here lol, but i can assume this.

    if flaxseed oil has a poor EPA/DHA conversion, than i can only imagine that mayonaisse is piss poor.

    Thanks for hte response guys. It's not like I really want it or anything, but I just saw the label and thought I'd post it, and maybe have some since I'm restricting carbs und have fats up.

    Q. What is flax seed oil?
    A. It’s a oil rich in O M E G A-3 that you can buy in just about any health or food store. 10-20 grams/day is a good ammount to consume


    Q. Where can I get EFA’s(essential fatty acids).
    A. Flax and fish oil are by far the 2 best sources. Use either one of them each day to be sure you get what you need.

    Q. The difference between essential fats and good fats
    A. Essential fatty acids are fats you need to survive. They are involved in just about all processes in the body and without them you die. Simple as that.
    Good fats are fats that you can survive without. But you wont have optimal health without them. Most good fats are monounsaturated fats while EFA’s are Polyunsaturated fats. There are good saturated fats aswell.

    Examples of food rich in good fats are:
    nuts
    egg yolk
    seeds
    olive oil
    coconut oil(virgin)
    avacado

    Examples of foods rich in EFA’s are:
    All fatty fish
    Flax seeds
