I’ve been thinking about the timing of response to flaxseed oil. The CNS improvement happens way too fast to be a nutritional effect, particularly considering that you take the stuff regularly and so can’t be deficient. What it looks like to me is a drug response. (I note that my pinball scores double shortly after taking it.)
Is there a plausible mechanism for flax oil — not necessarily the n3 component! — to have a fast CNS stimulant effect?
I also wonder how much of the effect is a result of absorption in the mouth. I’m going to experiment with flushing it around in my mouth for a while before swallowing, and maybe without swallowing.
