Not like IQ has any correlation with success anyway  |
DHA is the fatty acid you are talking about, but it is not found in flax seed, but is high in fish. Almost 60% of flax seed is ALA, which can be converted, but not in a reliable manner. DHA and EPA are the 2 most important fatty acids, and they just so happen to be very highly concentrated in seafood, and fish oils. I take 2 tsp of cod liver oil daily for the benefits of these fatty acids.
