>Actually, as humans we DO process ground flax. Yes, it is ALA, but a small amount of it is converted to DHA/EPA.

Listen, im not here to change your mind, i dont give a fuck. If you beleive that flax seed omega 3s are bioavailable enough for your needs, go nuts. My spouse has rheumatoid arthritis, and her life literally depends on her nutrition being on point. EPA+DHA is a big part of it. I have 9 years of bloodwork every 6 weeks documenting her levels of those. We have tried everything from cod, salmon, fish oil, refined fish oil. hemp, flax, etce tc. Here is the stuff that actually is bioavailible: fish, fish oil, eggs produced by chickens that are fed flax seed.

You can quote as many bull shit studies as you wish to justfy being a vegan, but this just reenforces my point from the original post. Your body is complex, and there is a lot of misinformation out there pushed by people with agendas. If you have a foundational belief, then make sure its correct. You seem to think flax is as good as fish oil, but where is your blood tests to prove it? I have mine that do. Thats why i believe it, the actual data from HER body aligns with the data i believe is trustworthy. You believe that fish doesnt affect the heart, but do you have personal data that it affects you in a direction, or are you trusting a non profit with an agenda for the information

This whole thread is a shitshow of people who have not taken the time to educate themselves about a belief, and are willing to argue about it when someone who actually knows something and has scientific data to back it up shows up.

The only person in the thread i am cool with is the dude who said slaughter was emotionally difficult for him. Fine- eat eggs, then, you will live a long healthy life. But don't be intellectually lazy or dishonest as the expense of your own health.
