A few grocery stores have it, and almost all health food stores. A pound
of it goes for $4-$8, depending on the store.

The science studies (Medline, search for "flax seed ldl") indicate about a
4 to 8% drop in total and LDL. Dunno if this is significant. The studies
were all pretty short, just a few months.
