Flax is a nutritional powerhouse & a super-healing food. Even in orthodox medical circles it's being studied as a 'nutraceutical': a food with many nutrients & pharmaceutical properties. Everyone could benefit by adding flaxseeds to their diet, especially those who suffer from constipation, intestinal & digestive problems, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, & cardiovascular & other degenerative diseases. Flax contains important essential fats, omega-3s & omega-6s, which are necessary for the proper functioning of many organs & are not produced by the body. It's also rich in lignans, which have antibacterial, antiviral, & antifungal properties & may play a key role in the prevention of breast, prostate, uterine, & colon cancers.
