Nutritionally, flax seed provides the essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) that has a beneficial role in brain and vision development in babies. University research suggests that flax seed can have a wide range of biological and metabolic effects in humans, and can be useful in the treatment and prevention of disease and maintenance of optimal health.

Fiber: Flax seed contains both soluable and insoluble fiber. Studies have found soluable fiber in flax seed can help lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Two thirds of the fiber in flax seed is insoluble and this aids digestion by increasing bulk and reducing the time that waste remains in the body. These characteristics seem to have a role in protecting against cancer. Fiber enhances our body's ability to use other dietary nutrients and goes through our digestive tract almost completely undigested. Once it reaches the colon and/or the large intestine, fiber is then broken down. Insoluable fiber is helpful in maintaining regularity and protects against bowel cancer.

Diets that do not contain sufficient fiber can lead to

- Weight Control problems
- Hypertension
- Cancer
- Heart Disease
- Diabetes
- Chronic Constipation

Lignans: The phytoestrogens (phyto=plant) called LIGNANs, bind to estrogen receptors in the body and may have a role in preventing hormonally related cancers of breast, endometrium and prostrate. They are molecules with anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties. Flax seeds are the richest source of lignans, containing “75-800 times that of 66 other plants.” American Institute for Cancer Research, Mayo Clinic Dietitian - Facts on Flax

Diets high in lignans and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) enter the disgestive tract and convert bacteria into phytoestrogens that may block the growth of hormone related cancers especially breast and colon tumors.

All of which just might translate into increased health benefits in the areas of heart disease, memopause symptoms, arthritis and breast, colon and prostate cancers.

Vitamins and Minerals: The vitamins and minerals found in flax seeds are zinc, iron, vitamin E, carotene, B-group vitamins, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, silicon, copper, nickel, molybdenum, chromium, and cobalt.

Protein: For every 100 grams of flax seeds = 25-30 grams of protein, which is great considering the other nutrients you get along with this.

Omega-3 fatty acid beneficial effects:

- Cancer
- Stroke
- Heart Attacks
- High Cholesterol
- Hypertension
- Heart pain
- Multiple sclerosis
- Psoriasis
- Eczema

Fat: Flax seed is one of the best sources for alpha linolenic acid that is both an essential fatty acid and an Omega 3 fatty acid. Researchers are interested in Omega 3 fatty acids for their role in reducing risk factors of heart disease and stroke (regulation of cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, blood clotting), immune and inflammatory disorders.
