I've heard it hurts T levels, here is a quick google result.

I used to buy flaxseed oil as a cheap source of omega 3. Then someone on HN informed me that it has crappy bioavailability. So, I switched to fish oil.
Free business idea: stop trying to make biodiesel and instead harvest omega 3 from algae. Sell it to the whole world at $8/gallon. Make the world a smarter, calmer place in the process.
People are farming algae in isolated environments to eventually make diesel. Seems more direct, higher-margin (lower volume, admittedly) and more ethical to squeeze healthy edible oil out of the algae instead.
