im taking roughly a tbsp of flax oil every other morning, mainly for its addition of omega 3 linolenic acid... honestly wasnt even aware that it contained ala?
> Lar, thanks for filling in the technical details which for which I don't have much knowledge. I'm Scottish too, for better or worse I tend to never give up. A few years ago I visited Hadrian's wall between England and Scotland. Seems the Roman conquest moved toward Scotland and they decided that they just could't deal with those independent, obstinate people :-).
