I'm eating some mixed into my hummus right now! my cholesterol went up (I was bad and was eating 2 eggs with cheese every morning for breakfast) and I'm hoping the flax and cutting out the eggs will get it back down.

I've had cholesterol in the high 200's since I was a teenager. I reeeeally don't want to go on chol drugs, so I reeeeeeally need to start playing by the dietary rules and stop cheating!

No ill effects noticed from the flax. I like the taste of the milled flax much more than the flax oil. It's good in pancakes, refried beans, hummus, chili, mild nutty flavor.
