Apparently from all that I have seen, it does help with weight. It is also reputed to help lower cholesterol, improve brain function, help with skin, hair ect.....
The problem with flax seed oil and safflower is that they provide very little of the dha, which is the one that we really lack ( a strain or something of one of the omega 3's)
fish oil is the best option, although the flax seed and such are still good they just don't cut it. (not cod liver oil, either)
we do not lack in omega 6 in our diets, however I can find little info on omega 9. Anyone have any info on it.?
