Does anyone know if Omega 3s are sensitive to cold (since they are to heat) and could I be harming them in this way? http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/flax-facts.aspx?commentid=15537#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/flax-facts.aspx?commentid=15537#Comments Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:35:14 GMT Shaina Zalma nutrition diva If you're looking for simple ways to add the health benefits of flax to your everyday foods, you may want to keep in mind Flax Sprinkles - wholesome milled flax in a convenient 12 oz shaker.
