Sunflower oil and flaxseed

[jdevlin1985]

Just a couple of questions;

1. where do you purchase flaxseed oil? i was under the impression any major supermarket, but not round here.

2. i'm going to be adding 1tsp of sunflower oil with lunch (chicken and brocolli), shall i just throw it over the top of the veg and chicken, or maybe cook one or the other with it?

Help appreciated.

Don't cook with it because unsaturated fats are unstable when heated and have a tendency of transforming to trans fatty acids. Buy Udo's choice from Flora health. Its a very good blend of oils and your local pharmacy should have bottle of flax oil or a ground flax seeds. I don't think any oils have much point to them, they may improve your skin a little bit from the vitamin E and fatty acids, but you won't see anything noticable. You could use it for guilt free flavor though over chick and veggies as you said.

Get the organic flax sees at a healthfood store or a whole food store. Keep it refrigerated.

Also safflower oil has more omega 6's then sunflower oil and will soon be on the shelves as a high GLA oil. I would use safflower oil instead of sunflower oil

Also the omega 6 oils I would not cook with them. use coconut oil since it can handle heat better then any vegetable or seed oil.
Also the lauric acid is anti microbial , kills candida and will help your metabolism
