Hemp seed oil benefits and side effects?

What are the benefits and side effects of taking Hemp seed oil supplements?. I wanted to try hemp for a long time but never got around to buying some.Hemp seed oil benefits and side effects?
Benefits:





Contains essential fatty acids: omega 6 and omega 3 [3:1]. Also contains omega 9 fatty acids that are good for health too...that you ordinarily find in olive oil. It also contains GLA....a fatty acid rarely found in nature that is found only in such as breast milk, borage oil and evening primrose oil. Thus it has an excellent combinaton of fatty acids, including essential fatty acids.





Suitable for vegetarians and vegans who want a vegetarian/vegan source of omega 3 fatty acids.





It is always a good idea to add vitamin E as a supplement if you are going to add oils to your diet.





Downside:





Goes rancid fairly quickly so you must refrigerate the oil and thus it may be better to buy the capsules that will stay fresh for much longer....but still refrigerate these.





Hope that helps.Hemp seed oil benefits and side effects?
