I was really thinking of anecdotal experience. I've seen reports on Babble of mood swings, and I know one person who can't use fish oil because it causes mania in her, yet flax oil is safe and effective. Individual differences make blanket statements inappropriate. I was just trying to warn anyone that adverse or even paradoxical reactions are possible.
