flax seed oil vs. olive oil --> which is better for u, and why?

[Little Rage]

I know both are natural fats, and should be taken, but which is better for u, or do they both have their benefits?

No one ever seems to be able to answer this one...I use olive oil, and I'll continue to do so until someone can give me a reason that flax is better. I don't know the nutritional facts on flax, but the only thing I can think of that it COULD be better is the saturated fat content. If flax can put up a goose egg in the sat. fat department then i will agree that it is better...Anyone?

Use both. Olive oil has something in it that helps with the release of GH. My trainer Mike Francois is good friends with Eric Serrano, an exercise physiologist. There was some study done. I can get the details on it if you want me to.

Please go into detail. I'm very interested. Thanks.

What is the story about Canola Oil? Someone told me that this is what I should use? Anyone tell me?

it depends

It depends on why you are taking it! Flax seed oil is rich in Omega3C fatty acids which us heavy red meat eaters do not get enough of. The best oil to take if you are looking for the perfect omega3c to omega6c fatty acids is hemp seed oil - it has the perfect ratio of 3:1. 3 omega6c to 1 omega3c. I have taken both on and off for the last 2 years and hemp seed oil seems to be the better by far.
