I have just started soaking 1 TBSPN freshyly ground flax seeds in water for five minutes and drinking first thing in the morning. This is from the Weston Price Foundation's website. http://www.westonaprice.org/askdoctor/ask_constipation.html
I noticed the coconut oil site that the Fife article was on, mentions Mary Enig a world-reknowned oil researcher who fell out of favour with the vegie oil industry big time when she started exposing all the flawed/twisted research and misinformation.
Anyway, I did a search on flax seed on the WPF site and a few mentions came up where Mary Enig was mentioning amd recommending it.
Still, would like to know more about this! But thanks for the info "Needtoknow" and Pierre. Guess I'll stick with my one tablespoon after all!
