I went to the natural food store over the weekend and purchased Spectrum Flax seed oil (has the other two in it). One thing I did notice is that it is very fattening. What's up with that? In the future, does anyone know about one that would be lower in Fat? I looked at all the ones available and they were all high in fat. I was very surprised. You were right Essie the clerk told me that Spectrum is a great brand!

And Susan explained that if you lower the fat in the rest of your diet, the little bit of omega 3 fat is better used. Too much other fat gets in the way. I don't take the flax oil. I eat 1 tbs of flax and/or an oz of walnuts and take the DHA as insurance. With the flax and walnuts I am getting the fiber and other nutrients along with the *healthy* fat. And they taste way better than plain oil!
