Is there any difference in the benefits of Flax Seed Oil vs Olive Oil? They for the most part have the same mono/poly unsaturated fat content, but is there something in the Flax that makes it better for you? I'm just wondering because I usually have Olive Oil in the house, a lot easier than finding flax seed oil.

Cant cook flax though. You can cook in olive oil though.

check the labels for the fat breakdown.
you'll see olive oil has more monos and flax has more polys.
polys contain efas. i use both myself."Pavel calls the idea of training yourself in isolated pieces "Frankenstein training" and I don't think I can come up with a better term. The body is one piece." Dan John

i dont believe it to be.
i went off of flax for 2 months (money got tight) and that familiar ache came back when squatting and i was still taking 2 servings of olive oil a day.
when i got back on the flax, after roughly 9 or 10 days it had lessened. then this morning i trained legs and it was completely gone, i'm just realizing now.
thats personal experience, i dont know what the science would say."Pavel calls the idea of training yourself in isolated pieces "Frankenstein training" and I don't think I can come up with a better term. The body is one piece." Dan John
