I prefer flax seed oil to ground flax seeds, due to cyanide being present in the shells.

And do you think shells aren't pressed when the flax seeds are for oil extraction?

Hydrogen cyanide is not fat soluble, so the levels are presumably much lower in the oil.

Not to mention the constipation. Different fiber affects people differently I suppose, but for me, flax seed binds me up pretty bad.
