It is very unfortunate that Mr. Lee Hayward has gotten several facts wrong when it comes to basic nutrition.
Example #1: He lists potato as being a complex carbohydrate and includes it with other “complex carbohydrates” such as sweet potatoes which act in a totally different way on our bodies. I thought this “simple” and “complex” carb has been dead and buried but apparently not! Today it’s about the glycemic index as well as the glycemic load and how these two factors affect our insulin levels which play an important role in our muscle gain as well as fat gain and loss. Example #2: Mr. Hayward lists 3 types of fats and totally ignores the main culprit of our time which is the 4th type called Trans fat (or man made rubbish)! Example #3: He lists Flaxseed oil under: “Good sources of mono-unsaturated fats”! I’m asking how can flaxseed oil which is over 70% polyunsaturated fats (that is usually rancid and cancer causing) be listed with such highly mono-unsaturated fats such as olive oil?! To top the list, Mr. Hayward lists canola oil amongst such oils as olive oil. There can never be a comparison here between these two oils when canola is simply poison to our bodies. Sure it may be high in mono-unsaturated fats, but that’s where the comparison ends! I encourage Mr. Hayward (and anyone who value his/her health) to read on the origin of this nasty oil and its health consequences. You may be surprised to learn that the journey begins with canola’s name itself. There are sunflower seeds and there’s sunflower oil; there’s olives and there’s olive oil…. Is there such a thing on planet earth called canola seed? I’ll let you find the answer to that question which will incidentally lead you to where this health wrecker comes from! http://www.sdadefend.com/MINDEX-C/Canola.pdf I’ll leave it here and would welcome any questions on what I’ve said. Thank you for reading. PS: Jon, please check the information before you post it Sir. Thank you. Fadi.

Flaxseed being bad? Majority of the Polyunsaturated fats being Omega-3's....last I checked they aren't cancerous. BUT I agree in that he shouldn't of listed flax as high in monounsaturated

You missed Fadi's point about rancidity. If fresh it is good, the problem is it is really fresh when you purchase it at a store. When rancid (as with anything off) it is not good for you.

David; flaxseed is not a problem until you grind it. Once ground it can become "rancid quite quickly" so it needs to be consumed very quickly. If it's not ground down it passes straight through you and me. Oils are ok if kept refridgerated, the seed is the best option.

Fadi was talking about Oil not seeds and a lot of the time it is either not refrigerated or improperly stored before the sale, seeds I have no problem with besides the fact that you do not get DHA and only ALA (which the body supposedly can not convert to DHA).

I wouldn't touch either flaxseed or flaxseed oil. Flaxseed oil because 99.9% of the time it is rancid (due to its fatty acid structure), and flaxseeds due to taking the gold medal in having the highest amount of phytoestrogen content known to men!

I am more thinking along the lines of the effects of phytoestrogens on hormonal levels in men. I am too lazy to look it up at the moment, so I was hoping you have some papers at hand
