Flax seed & Flax oil do they do the same ?

[kimonraw]

Hi,
I am kimonraw. I am new to raw foods, about six weeks now. I would love it if someone could tell me if using ground flax seeds does that same good as using flax oil and also some of the benifits other than making you regular which is the main reason I was told to use it? Thank you for your input. :confused:

I have been led to believe that the benifits of both are different and now use both (the seeds need grinding first). I do not use them for the same reasons as you and only for the omega 3 and omega 6 benifits.
