Hi: I'm puzzled. After reading the post about not using flaxseed oil, etc., I checked the bottle of Dr. Atkins' "Essential Oils" supplement, which I have been taking daily. I notice three of the ingredients (Alpha Lenolenic Acid, Lenoleic Acid, and Oliec Acid) are listed as "from flaxseed oil" or from a combination of flaxseed oil and other sources (borage and fish oils). I am way out of my depth here in regard to truly understanding the chemistry involved in some of this discussion, but I'm wondering why I am taking something marketed by Atkins that has flaxseed oil in it if he says it is harmful.....Can someone give me a simple answer?

Well, I don't expect anyone to tell me why *I* am taking it, just whether it is good for me.

Thanks,
Kay
