Hi,
I was doing research on coconut oil...and found a site "bad mouthing" flax oil as being dangerous....my questions : it might be dangerous because it is not mixed with the cottage cheese? they also stated that raw flax seed was dangerous. I also bake my flax seed @ 250degrees for 20 minutes. (before I grind them) I was told that got rid of the dangerous part...IS this correct? Regards, Marsha Bristol |

I've been told that one should never heat flax seeds or flax seed oil above 110 degrees. I was told by a chemist that flax oil is unstable and has a tendency to "go bad" fast when either exposed to too much light or heat.

I believe you may have read false information, though I would be interested in looking at that web site myself. Please provide that web address. Marsha wrote: Hi, |

As has been mentioned already, excessive consumption of flax seed oil is not advised when it is not combined with cottage cheese. As far as the consumption of ground raw flax seeds is concerned, I believe the important thing is to consume the ground up seeds soon after grinding them, ie. before the resultant food goes rancid which occurs with exposure to oxygen and is exacerbated by exposure to heat and light. Just keep your seeds in a cool, dark place, and don't grind them up until they're required. Baking the seeds seems counter intuitive to me. I hope my comments help.
