There is a difference between culinary use and medical use!.
Certainly culinary use of flaxseed is unlikely to be a concern!. However herbs/drugs that disrupt hormones are always a safety concern -particularly during pregnancy!.
Mega doses of flax seed can contain toxic levels of cyanide as well!.
I would say that in moderation it is fine, but I would limit it to one serving per day which is 60mL
