Okay, I just realized we usually eat ground flax one way or the other every day. Put it in our smoothies, with ground apples, or in dehydrated foods.

Doesn't the body still need the essential oils even if we are juice fasting? Seems it would be important for detox. And what other things is the body needing that we won't be supplying with juicing a variety?

Fibre perhaps.

I'll pick up some flax oil at the store, I was headed there now. We've always used the ground flax so I have not kept the oil.

(Truth tell, one day I was at the health food / produce store and saw the flax oils out waiting to be refrigerated -- and when I left several hours later, it was all still sitting there! Someone got sidetracked. So I've been wary of buying it and settled on grinding our own flax here. But I'll take a chance for now.)
