My doctor recommended flax seed because I started Lipitor and bad liver tests resulted.* I can't tell you if flax works, but I should know as soon as the blood tests come in (about a week).* I have sucked down flax seed in cereal, yogurt, and oatmeal, even salad.

Make sure that you grind that flax seed* in order to reap the benefits that are claimed by ingesting flax seed.

If you prefer to use ground flaxseeds, just add 1 or 2 tablespoons of to an 8-ounce glass of water and mix. Flaxseeds have a pleasant, nutty flavor and taste good sprinkled on salads, cooked vegetables, or cereals.
I recommend you grind the seeds (or buy ground flaxseed) because whole seeds simply pass through the body. Grinding the seeds just before using them best preserves flavor and nutrition, but pre-ground seeds are more convenient. Keep them refrigerated. There are no nutritional differences between brown and yellow seeds.

I place a tablespoon of ground flax seed on my breakfast cereal and mix a tablespoon of ground flax seed with my lunch time yogurt.
