Did you not find my questions even a bit interesting? And is it not interesting that useing google to find data about flax seed consumption, or even flax seed production, or RDA data for nutnutrients does does not help? Strange.....just like your reply is. Hopefully someone out there reading this will take these questions seriously like all questions deserve, and will be kind enough to spend their time more positivelly than you did. regards andrew vecsey > "Herbalife-Shop" > > Nuff said.

Well . . .maybe -- there are a few studies that suggest that alpha linolenic acid found in flax, canola and many other vegetable sources is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. It is probably too early to know about this, but I won't be giving up my spinach any time soon, although mature men may wish to go easy on the canola and flax until more data is accumulated.
