Relation to Diabetes
Shelf life
Oil of Clary Sage Seed
Excellent stability. The highest found in nature, 100 thousand times higher than all other sources.
No
No
No
Cold pressed
Very high. 900% better than flax seed oil.
Yes, Safe to be consumed by everyone, without exception.
Contains high levels of various antioxidants.
One of the most concentrated sources of sterols – 9 different types.
Oil of Clary Sage Seed
Yes. Natural Co- enzyme Q10, not synthetic.
Pleasant smell. Delicate taste. Children take it easily.
No. No allergenic compounds were found.
No. Oil is digested very well
Contains omega 3 type ALA that does not suppress immune system cells.
Common drop in LDL levels of 35-40% for most consumers.
A significant increase of 20% and more was found with a substantial number of consumers. The mechanism is still unknown.
Influences positively Type 2 Diabetes patients
Even after 2 years at room temperature, the natural oil doesn't get rancid, and is still fit for consumption.

Fish Oil
Oil is unstable, oxidizes easily.
Yes. Fish are the most contaminated food with heavy metals.
Yes. Hundreds of types of these compounds are found in fish and in fish oils from leading world producers.
Besides heavy metals and petroleum toxins, some fish are injected with additional compounds when packaged.
High temperature distillation process at 250 degrees Celsius.
Very low.
Not safe for diabetics – tests show bad cholesterol levels increase with diabetics. Not acceptable for vegetarians.
Contains very little antioxidants
Not present.
Fish Oil
No
Fishy smell. Bad fishy breath and causes unpleasant fishy smelling, burping and gas.
Yes. Sea products are a known allergen, and many people cannot eat fish or fish products.
Causes burping and gas.
Scientific study shows that the EPA type omega 3 that is found in fish oil suppresses white blood cells that among other things are responsible for killing cancer cells.
Does not lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. With diabetic patients, it causes LDL levels to increase
No effect was ever shown on HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Fish and fish oil consumption is related to increased risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Fish oil goes rancid within a few days, therefore requiring adding external preservatives.

Flax Seed
One of the most unstable oils in nature. Oxidizes very easily, even at room temperature.
No
No
Yes. The seeds contain toxic cynic glycoside, and also compounds that work against vitamin B6. Contains phytoestrogens.
Ground seed, or oil extracted by cold press, at which in both cases the oil oxidizes within the first hour.
Comparatively low.
Pregnant and nursing women and children are warned against taking flaxseed due to high content of phytoestrogens.
Contains very little antioxidants
Unknown. If there are sterols present, they are at very low levels, as studies show no effect on cholesterol levels.
Flax Seed
No
Unpleasant bitter taste.
Yes. Flax is a known allergen.
Many get acute digestive problems that even force stopping the consumption.
Contains omega 3 type ALA that does not suppress immune system cells.
Numerous studies show no or very little effect in lowering LDL cholesterol levels.
No effect was ever shown on HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
No effect
Flaxseed oil goes rancid within a few hours at room temperature. Ground flaxseed up to one day.
