Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Just read the bottle. Pure flaxseed oil is just that and will say so on the label. If other ingredients have been added, such as soy, it will say so. I avoid soy products because of the suppressed downside you don't hear about in mainstream info sources.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 It's a little easier to believe when it comes from a real person. Anyone and their dog can put anything they want to on the net true or not. When I do research, most of what I get is some " information " right before they being to promote a certain product they want you to buy. Anyone that is selling something, IMO, is not someone that will always give an complete and honest answer to questions. That is why I join lists.. where I can hear statements, advice, etc from actual people. However, I am finding that on this particular list members rarely post. I only got one response to my first post, which was basically advertisement to buy something. So there you go. Re: [ ] ie; flaxseed oil Hi, There is plenty of info on the net about soy if anyone is interested in looking.for it Here is one web site from my explorations into the subject. I made the decision to avoid soy after reading from many different sources. http://www.nexusmagazine.com/soydangers.html I do not promote to anyone what they should or shouldn't do. This is just a decision I made for myself and everyone needs to make their own decisions. >>Please - would some people elaborate on the " downside " >>of soy ? > >See Soy Alert: <http://www.westonaprice.org/soy/index.html> > >>Also - what about fermented soy - such as soy sauce ? > >Properly fermented soy foods are OK.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 In attempting to find one's way thorugh the morass of contradictory information on soy, it is useful to investigate the exact methodology of a given study and, more importantly, who funded the study. >It's a little easier to believe when it comes from a real person.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hi , I agree with you on finding information. I always look for several sources and also rely a bit on my own intuition. As I said I am not promoting anything, someone asked a question and I responded to it. The web site I referred to is not selling anything so I don't think there is any agenda there but you do have to always look at the big picture. I am new to this list also and signed on to see if I might learn something new. I started taking a rain forest herb about a week ago and I did ask on this list as well as another one if anyone had even heard of it. So far there has been no response which I assume is just because the people reading the posts haven't heard of it. If you got one response you're doing better than I am :-) At 11:22 PM 10/14/03 -0400, you wrote: >It's a little easier to believe when it comes from a real person.
