Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I always put flax oil in my smoothies, but this morning there was something distinctly different (and gross!) about it - I can't believe I didn't detect it then! It took me adding it to my guacamole for lunch to figure it out!!!!! I called the company " Health from the Sun " (I purchased it a few days ago at Trader Joe's) and asked if they processed fish oil - they said yes - I said " Well, I got some in my flax oil bottle " . " Uh-oh " , said the man nervously. I told him that I'm vegan - " oh NO! " he says.......He took my name and number and the lot number from the bottle. I told him not to worry about me, I wouldn't raise a stink.....but someone else just might. Ewwww!! I can't get the taste out of my mouth! I don't know which is worse!! The terrible taste or the fact that it's from fish livers!!! Sheree " We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Sorry to hear about this Sheree. Eating some lemon wedges or gargling with some apple cider vinegar might help clean out the fish oil is several different ways.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I too had some flax oil a few years ago that seemed to have a kind of fishy taste, much different from other flax oils. I don't think it was really fish oil, though. I decided that it was poor quality oil, maybe rancid.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yeah, could be....someone else told me the same thing. It must have been rancid if not fish oil as it had a terribly bitter flavor. I think I'll stick with the one I get at PCC - I can't remember the name off hand.
