[RC] cyanide in flax seed?? - GoTory

This months issue of Horse Journal has a reply to a letter regarding the 
effect of grinding or presoaking flax seed causing the formation of cyanide.  
They 
do also comment that it "has been determined that flax seed can be included 
in the diet of people up to 10 to 12% of their total food intake before any 
concern arises about possible toxicity."
Is it safe to assume a comparable percentage would apply to horses?  Anyone 
know if this is a cumulative effect?   or.............is it all hogwash?
Thanks!   nikki in CA  (currently feeding a cup or so of ground 
flax/day.......)
