Slightly better than castor oil?

I am taking an inventory of my diet and flaxseed oil has piqued my interest. For some reason, the mere name conjures up images of screaming young children being force-fed castor oil. Clearly I am projecting childhood insecurities on this poor derivative.

Consider the range of ills that flaxseed oil can help: sprains, high blood pressure, bruises, clots, asthma, psoriasis and dandruff.

Some researchers believe flaxseed oil can also help reduce cancer.

Can it help get me pregnant? Now that would be the clincher.
