Hey, Jefferson - Get Your Flax Seed Oil

The other day, Jeff asked me about this miraculous Flax Seed oil that I have been taking daily. I had heard the buzz about flax seed oil from several doctors who suggested it for cardiovascular care, and since I had been concerned about the stress on my heart when I was bigger, I decided to try it for myself.

The studies show that Flax Seed Oil may be doing a lot more good than just benefiting the heart. Here's what one site says:

- Research shows low incidence of breast cancer and colon cancer in populations that have high amounts of lignan in their diet. Flax is 100 times richer in lignan than most whole grains.

• - Studies show that Omega-3 fatty acids help lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides, and prevent clots in arteries, which may result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses.

I'm not really big into supplements, but so far, the Flax Seed oil seems to be beneficial. No side effects and if it's doing some good from the inside out, I'm all for it.
