Please phone Barleans and ask these questions about
the flaxseed oil..I know they tell us that they are sending out fresh to us..but
again I wonder how long it has been sitting before the postman or ups gets it to
us..and if they keep it cold, or the store house is much to warm. Some of our
stores around here carry the Barlean products, and most of the time it is
refrigerated when we pick it up from them. If we send by mail, I have no idea
what I'm getting. But Leah phone then early and also write them an email..then
let us al know what their answer will be. If you can't get through to them I
will see what I can do Monday for you in getting an answer.Chances are someone
else on this list will have an logical answer for you already.

Thank you, I will do that and if you hear before me
let me know , you are so kind, Leah

The Barlean's oil has the dates on the bottles on
which it was processed, so you can easily tell if it is fresh.
?
As to getting your oil delivered unrefrigerated
from Barleans, sorry to inform you?the health food stores do also.?
The oil is shipped by trucks that are NOT refrigerated.? I talked to
Barleans about that and they assured me that the refrigeration is mainly
necessary AFTER the bottle is originally opened.? With the oil they ship
being so fresh, immediate refrigeration isn't necessary after
bottling.
?
My concern now only revolves around shipments here
to Texas during the summer.?? We sometimes have weeks when the daytime
temperatures are above 100 degrees and, unlike elsewhere, it doesn't cool down
that much at night.? Those warehouses of the shippers aren't air
conditioned, so if the?oil?isn't delivered immediately, it?may
have seen 24 hours at 100+ degrees.? However, once again, the same thing
holds true for the oil bought in the health food stores.? The oil is only
refrigerated after delivery to the stores.? I usually buy in smaller quantities, 2 qts. per order, during the summer
to counter the possibilities of that risk.

Not just prolonged exposure to heat, but even prolonged rough
handling of the oil, continued shaking of the container can degrade flax
oil.
There is no excuse for not shipping the flax oil in
refrigerated trucks.? Refrigeration is expensive.? But it seems to me
that 99% of the people that buy flax oil from Barleans and other fine suppliers,
would be willing to pay an extra 50 cents to have their oil refrigerated
throughout the cycle from the original source, in transit,?and in the markets.
I've also been using hemp oil from Spectrum, now that it's
organic.? Erasmus recommends its use after a long period on flax oil,
because, as he says, flax is so high in Om 3s, that it can actually cause an
imbalance.? Hemp oil, has a ratio of 3 parts Om 6 to 1 part Om 3, if my
memory is correct.? Not ideal, but close to it.
I buy an 8 oz container of hemp oil, and an 8 oz container of
flax, put them both in the freezer, and alternate my use of them, which I'm
assuming gives approximately a ratio of 2 parts Om6 to 1 part Om 3, and that's
close enough to ideal for me.

Your concerns are valid.? I had a warehousing
business in Dallas.? The warehouse gets hot but nothing compared to the NON
INSULATED,?SEALED metal trailer the product is shipped in.?A day or
two of this type heat will compromise many products.?Some companies
load?trailers and move them?to an area where a trucker will pick
them?up?later.???After making the trip to the
destination the?trailer may then be dropped at a yard to be unloaded
later.? The product?has the possibility of?staying in the trailer
a very long time.
?
Many products are moved
on?REFRIGERATED?trailers.??I don't understand why Barlean's
does not use them.??

Somewhere in the archives is a recent post of mine ( maybe 3 wks or a month
ago) in which I forwarded a letter from Barlean's tothe list.? They
told me about a temperature test they had done on their FS oil in which
they proved to their satisfaction that the onopened botles are not degraded
by prolonged exposure to moderate temperatures.? (I don't know about
100 degrees, though.? It would be good to ask? them about that
specifically.? They are very forthcoming and helpful.)

Looks like everyone is sold on Barleans.? Lets
all e mail our concerns and questions directly to them. Pull up Barleans and
choose whomever you like to e mail?from their list of employees. We might
get an answer.? More importantly we might get the oil without damage.?

as casual as speech, but without body language, so it's easy to miss subtle
