Ginny, my love, I don't think it's such poor science.  I am so sick of science telling us stuff....does anyone watch TV????  Every couple of months we are subjected to a wonderful new drug...a few months later, the lawyers are paying for ads so that we can sue this drug or that.  And if I sound like I believe everything I see on TV, that is so not true.  I think it's all stupid.  I will take my flaxseed and all others in the hopes that I can outlive the scientists, sigh.
   
  Love,
  Bren, agreeing with Ginny and Tomo

You're correct about the fish oil; I went and checked my sources as 
well, and molecular distillation seems to be the norm. So that leaves 
me no leg to stand on as far as production. I still have a gut 
reaction that eating a fish is more natural than eating a bunch of 
seeds of a particular kind, and that the Omega 3 in the fish is more 
accessible and requires less conversion. Since I fancy us as 
preferential carnivores with omnivorous dentition and enzymes, I'd 
rather reach for the fish, too.

Very poor science, but it's OK with me.
