I understand your point so I will ask you some questions.

If Udo's has Omega 6 in there and the typical American diet has too much 6's and not enough 3's, can give me a good argument of adding in the extra 6's to my diet if it is already is too high?

So, gram for gram are you suggesting that flax gram for gram supplies the same amount of Usable Omega 3's?

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
The intake of 3 grams per day to 4 grams per day of ALA is equivalent to 0.3 grams per day of EPA with optimal elongation.

If this is correct would it not take more flax to do the same job as fish oils?
And in the States flax is more expensive than fish oils.

Due to the conversion would I be adding in more calories in my diet regardless of metabolism?

Gram for gram would fish oils have the same capabilities for fat loss than flax?
If so why would I add more calories to my diet if I am already struggling to lower my bodyweight?

Flax and phytoestrogens is well known, this we can agree on.
Remember that the guy that is very lean will have less aromatase activity and adding in even a weak estrogen could be problematic.

You cant use this in your arguement
Rob Feesey gets down to crazy low BF, 3-4%, and he's never mentioned any oestrogenic effects.

I know many bodybuilders that take anti-estrogens during contest prep, and are on anabolics and androgenics, I bet rob is using some anti-estrogen so suggesting flax has no interferance with estrogen seems a bit biased.

There are studies that suggest that flax and nolvadex act the same on blocking estrogen sensitive breast tissue.
Nolvadex is a weak estrogen but it also is a agonist and antagonist to estrogen.
It acts like a estrogen to the prostate and that is not cool.

In your opinion could flax act as an agonist and antagonist to estrogen in men?
If so would you really suggest that a very lean guy that has little aromitization take flax over fish oils?

Why flax or Udo's over fish oils?
