Distilled flax oil?

 

I bought a non lignan flax oil but found out it has been distilled, should I throw it out now?  Not sure if has any uses,  never knew you can distill an oil
 

Distilled?  What brand is this?  Fish oils are distilled to remove mercury and other contaminants.  But FSO?  Why on earth would one distill FSO.  Doesn't make any sense.

I called company that made it and they said it can be used for cooking then, regular flax including barleans you cant.., will burn if used at a cooking temperature  ..distilling is supposed to concentrate nutrients as well.  
 

I would throw it out.  I don't know what processing they did to it that they are calling "distilled," but pure unprocessed FSO such as Barleans cannot be used for cooking.  Apparently they've done something to it to make it resistant to oxidation, so it cannot be used for the Budwig protocol.

Not sure I would throw it out, but I wouldn't use it for BP. If it is made for cooking, I would just cook with it until gone.
