When I read the
quote of Dr. Ralston, I wondered about the impaction remark as well, especially
since flax seed is used to keep people "regular", why would large quantities
cause an impaction in a horse? I would think maybe an explosion would be more
likely! (:>)

for her. I was just pointing out that Dr. Ralston, whom I also
have a lot of respect for, made a statement that I just don't agree
with, and could be alarming to people who don't have the benefit of
Dr. G. I know that whole flax seeds work, if you read my whole
post, I even stated that. I'm assuming that Dr. R wouldn't make that
type of statement without kind of information to back it up, and I'd
be interested in knowing what kind of study lead her to those
conclusions. There are frequently conflicting studies, and what I know
through my own experience is more a one rat study. I was
also wondering about the statement regarding the impaction, and
wondering what large quantities might mean.
I was not trying to
start a battle, just pointing out an interesting article I read.
