What are the Health Benefits
of Flaxseed?
The healing properties
of flax can be referenced in Greek and Roman writings as far back
as 650 BC. In fact, the 8th century emperor, Charlemagne, considered
flax so important for health that he passed regulations requiring
flax consumption. (Vaisey-Genser and
Morris, 2003 and Anonymous, 2005)
Over the past few decades, extensive scientific research has revealed
numerous nutritional benefits of flaxseed due primarily to its fat,
lignan, dietary fiber, and protein content.
