Product Description
Not all fats are bad. In fact, doctors and researchers have discovered that some fats are essential for optimum health—that's why they're called essental fatty acids. Flax and flaxseed oil is nature's richest source of omega3 fatty acids. This book reveals how this important missing nutrient in your diet can help prevent heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain and inflammation. Flax is also a source of a group of compounds called lignans, that may prevent certain types of cancer, especially breast and prostate cancer. Highquality, coldpressed flaxseed oil has a delicious, nutty flavor, making it easy to incorporate into your diet with 101 innovative flax recipes.

I got this book expecting most of it to be geared toward it's treatment for cancer but was very surprised, delightfully so, to find large porions of it devoted to it's helpfulness in depression and in improving the health of pregnancy, infants and children. I think everyone on earth should be taking flaxseed oil and after you read this very good book you will feel the same way. Good health to you!

There is a seed of truth in the claims made in this book, but a wise consumer should know a few things about flax and particularly flax seed oil before adopting the suggestions made here. Flax seeds are a pretty good addition to a diet. They have a wonderfully nutty taste that adds character to baked goods and hot cereal. They are very high in soluble fibre and can be toasted in a skillet or incorporated in the crust of breads. * flax seed meal goes rancid easily. you can tell if rancidity has set in by a slightly bitter taste to the meal. The best way to incorporate flax in your diet is to buy fresh whole seeds from a source that turns them over frequently and grind them yourself.(a small electric coffee grinder that you can buy on Amazon will do the trick.) Flax seed oil is even more perishable. * the fatty acids in flax are no substitute for the EFA's in fish or fish oil. The ratio of 3's to 6's is way too low and research has established that most of us do not convert one to the other. * when you first start to add flax to your diet, be sure to drink a lot of water. --Lynn Hoffman, author of THE NEW SHORT COURSE IN WINE and the forthcoming novel bang BANG from Kunati Books.ISBN 9781601640005

This book cuts through a lot of the nonsense making flax and it's benefits clearly understood. I like the fact that I could open the book at any page and just begin reading. I'm certainly a Flax fan now!!

This book is great. Hard to believe from a nutrition book, but this one becomes a pager turner. Once I started reading about all the great benefits of flax, I just wanted to find out about everything it has to offer. This book is full of great research, but you don't have to be a doctor to read it. The best part is, once you decide to started using flax, there are a bunch of great recipes right at your fingertips. I've tried several of the salad dressings and so far I love them all.
