CAUTIONS : Pregnant and lactating women and people using prescription drugs should consult their physician before taking any dietary supplement. Flax oil should not be used as the only oil in the diet, as it is too high in the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fats to be the exclusive, long-term dietary oil. The body needs some Omega-6 fats, as well as sterols and fat-soluble antioxidants, in order to have a healthy balance that promotes health. Without that healthy balance of oily nutrients and in the presence of oxidative stresses, large doses of flax oil can become volatile and add to processes that can stimulate cancer. In the presence of a good balance, the opposite is true and cell growth tends to become more normalized.
