Hi hartwick, I'm new here too. 3 weeks but down 13 lbs. I eat mayo esp. in egg and tuna salad. No problems with that.

Now, about flax. Boy, I love the flax seed meal. I add it to everything, even the dog's food!! Once a long time ago I did read something negative about flax seed (oil or seed, not sure) but I can't remember where. Perhaps Doreen can jump in here. She knows alot about this stuff.

I think the article said that flax seed oil blocks the absorbtion of something else. However, I have read hundreds of positive things about it so I take I cap a day and add the meal wherever possible. (I add 1/4 cup to Karens nut crust, delicious) Good luck and see ya later
