Susan, while I'm certainly not an expert in this area,  I am a nursing mom
as well as a vegetarian. It is my understanding Omega 3 fatty acids are
essential not only for my good health but for my baby as well, and flax seed
oil is an excellent source for this. My OB actually recommended flax seed
oil in my last pregnancy to help aid my progesterone levels.

Dr. Sears has some good information on his web site regarding flax seed oil.
I am curious what brand of flax seed this woman used? My bottle says nothing
regarding elevated phytoestrogens at all. I personally believe it is not
only fine but essential for good health.
