My doctor suggested fish oil capsules 2X a day because my total chol is high and I won't take "real" medicine (Lipitor, etc.) I told him I already take flax seed but he said that wasn't enough. I guess I'll find out in three more months.

BTW, don't spend that $24 on a subscription to Consumer Reports if you have a library nearby. You can probably use it there for free. Or call the librarian, tell her you need information, and she will pull some articles for you and you can just pick them up (I work at our library and we do stuff like that all the time). Most libraries subscribe to Consumer Reports and lots of other journals, medical and otherwise, as well.
