Flaxseed oil is a tremendous vegetable source of essential fatty acids. Reports show 80% of Americans are deficient in essential fatty acids. Using cold pressed flaxseed oil on salads or other foods that are not cooked (you cannot cook with it because heat makes flaxseed oil rancid) can be a good addition to the diet and is recommended for anyone attempting to lose weight. The flaxseed , due to the significant amounts of omega-3 essential fatty acids, has recently been reported to help prevent and treat heart disease and prevent blood clots.
