Omega 3's

More important than omega 6 fatty acids are omega 3 fatty acids. The best vegan source, flax seed. This little
seed ground up into a fine smoothie additive can pack a whopping 2300 mg of omega 3's. I am reading a book right now called The Omega Diet, even though it isn't a raw foodist book, I figured I would give it a look since it was only 2 dollars at the thrift store. Very informational so far, there are a broad spectrum of claims made in this one, if I believe every word, saturating myself with omega 3's wouldn't be a bad thing, and if I had cancer or numerous other disease ranging from psoriasis to glaucoma, it wouldn't be bad either. Crohn's is also mentioned along with IBD and colitis. Immune system disorders in abundance have been eased in studies this book points out. If you really can't find a copy but have to have it, I'll send you mine.
