Please see the posts on fax on this site. You can search by clicking on the purple bar above and enter your search term. There is quite a lot on flax.

It explores the arguments between flax seed and oil.

Flax potentially has benifit in a number of ways it is suggested including;

Improved digestion / elimination (fibre soluble and insoluble etc) Digestion is fundamental to health.

Improving the omega three intake of the omega three mother fat ( and so improving the omega three six balance)

The provision of plant based oestrogen like compunds. There is debate on this and you will have to read and make up your own mind. The subject is covered in the posts quoting those who know more than I do.

Please also look at the posts on balancing the omega threes and sixes.

TRIALS

It is a great saddness that the levels of funding for research into the impact of diet are very limited it appears. Often trials come to a conlusion that an aspect of diet shows great potential and further trials should be done, but do not appear to be followed up.

FOOD AND GENES

Diet does impact on your genetic expression. (How you use the genes you have and how you balance the genetic ingredients)

AWAY

I do keep an brief eye on posts but am afriad I have been temporarily diverted from persuing my interest in reading on diet, so you have been saved my typo's and bad spelling (in the absence of a spell checker).
