Actually, the main problem with flax oil is that it requires processing by an
animal physiology in order to provide the omega-3 fatty acids that we need.

Human physiology can do this processing, but modern human beings often are in a
state of less than ideal health, and these processes cannot be counted on
occurring properly.

Fish oil (or omega-3 eggs) have the processing already completed, and thus
contain the EPA and DHA that are the most desirable omega-3 fatty acids.
