Flax oil is filled with phyto-estrogens from the lignans. Its 1990's technology- sorry Udo Erasmus (he wrote a 600 page book plugging flax and other oils in the 90s). 4-5 grams a day of quality fish oil (omega 3s) balanced out with 4-5 grams of cold pressed evening primrose oil (omega 6's) is the bomb!! The rest of your oil intake should be from monounsaturates such as macadamia and virgin olive oil and RAW NUTS. I WILL TRY TO POST MY ARTICLE OF A COUPLE YEARS AGO -STREET SMART FAT INTAKE, which is the most practical and understandable article on fats in the bodybuilding world. Many posers and punks in the bodybuilding world tried to claim my fat program as their own within a month or 2 of the publication of this article and put it in their own columns in muscle magazines. It was even translated into French and posted on a French website.
Finally, Species Nutrition makes a fatty acid supplement. I think its called Omegalyze that incorporates "Street Smart Fat Intake" style fatty acid proportions all in one formula. If you guys are spending your money on Nitric Oxide and BCAA supplements before a quality essential fat formula like this, you are building a house without a foundation and your gains (and health) will lag accordingly.

Hey Ron,
Great to have you in the forum!
My question is, what did you tell Dave when you 'introduced' him to macadamia nut oil?

Great I had gotten a bottle for free, so have been using it, but from what I've read its not the best.
Thanks
I'd love to see that article

Okay so you don't like flax oil, but do chia seeds offer any nutritional benefit? Not as a replacement to fish oil, but as a compliment in moderate amounts to supply some raw alpha linolenic acid.

What did I tell Dave about Macadamia Nut oil
My theories about fat are as follows:
Get your essential fatty acids in as active a form as possible. Fish Oil- which already has been converted into the biologically active Omega 3 components EPA and DHA (flax has to be converted into these active fat substrates and the body's ability to convert is often inefficient). Cold pressed evening primrose oil is a great source of GLA's which is the biologically active component of Omega 6's.
Now you want to get your Essential Fats in as concentrated source as possible because Omega 3 and 6's are inherently unstable and suseptable to getting rancid, free radical attack and oxidation. If any of these problems result, these formerly beneficial fats become unhealthy. We want the fats concentrated because a given amount of fat soluble antioxidants can protect 12 of 15 grams of oil more efficiently than a quarter cup of sunflower seed oil and 6 tablespoons of flax and is also calorically more efficient. Also normal metabolism and especially exercise induced oxygen consumption would cause a huge amount of free radical reations with all that polyunsaturated fat in a nonconcentrated form.
The rest of our fat should come from highly stable mono-unsaturated fats which resist oxidation, are good for the cardiovascular system and may be helpful in weight loss. Macadamia nut oil is the most highly mono-unsaturated oil in existance and can withstand reasonable heat without oxididation so you can cook with it (the topic of a later discussion) and it tastes great.
Thats what I told Dave about Mac oil. He agreed with all the logic and thats how we both roll.

Hey Ron!
I've read MSG is in
Sodium Caseinate
Calcium Caseinate
which is a common ingredient in many mixed protein powders, casein protein powders, MRP's and rtd's such as lean body etc..
In your opinion does the risk of MSG outweigh any of the possible benefits of consuming these sources of protein?
Thanks.

MSG Fron Casein?????
Its a huge stretch that the Glutimates in Casein would be converted into MSG. In the Middle Ages it was said that certain priests could turn lead into gold. These might be the only ones who could turn casein into MSG.
I'd use my casein, normally only before bed, and not worry about myths.
Whey is better all other times of the day. I use a ton of Isolyze by Species.
Hope I helped,
Ron

Thanks a lot, I thought it was sketchy due to lack of references with the claims, but was curious since I have 1 or 2 shakes with it a day.
