I have been postponing pointing out this for a long time. The best health investment I have made was buying one of those over the counter oil pressers (mine was of the nutrishef brand and its cost was around $250) then starting buying flax seed at bulk and extracting oil from it. I also bought a manual one which I do not use but I took its advice of adding a little water to the flax seed then waiting two days before I start using from it and applied that to my electric one to get the oil without heating the seeds (still there is a six minuets time for the machine to heat itself). It is just a little amount of water. For example, a table spoon for each cup of flax seeds might be seen as reducing the amount of extracted oil because of too much water (Although, I may accept the lower oil yield trying to lower the temperature of the extraction process further with the extra water). I do not know if in the future more side effect would be discovered for omega 3 against all the current pointing out to its benefit currently but I have not experienced a noticeable change in me like the one that comes from increasing the amount or ratio of omega 3 generally or relative to omega 6 (combined with the simple exercise of brisk walking probably because it is still oil and you need to help your heart pumping it). Every time that amount or ratio increases or decreases I feel the change in my health like pressing a button on some machine to cause some effect. When the amount or ratio is low I drag myself to workout a little bit. when the amount or ratio is high I feel ready to do significantly more workout. It is like cheating on one's age.
Note: When I started this process I read some talk about a relation between increasing consumption of flax seed oil and increased probability for prostate cancer. I also read some talk that seems to be associating that risk with pure flax seed oil. This is one of the reasons I always insist on consuming, in addition to the oil, whatever falls into the oil container through the filter in the extraction process.
