Flax Seed Research - The updated flaxseed news
This little Flaxseed of hope, as it’s being called, has been rediscovered as an excellent source of nutrition. Documented use of Flaxseed dates back to 5,000BC. The Romans and Charlemagne marched their armies on it. Yet flax seed has only recently received serious scientific study.
In 1994, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began and has extended a three year $2 million contract with the National Cancer Institute to study the effects of flaxseed on various health concerns.
As part of the institute’s ongoing "Designer Foods" program, the FDA is conducting experiments to confirm the flaxseed’s role in fat and cholesterol metabolism, bone mineralization, and in strengthening the immune system. Research to date has confirmed the widespread beneficial effects that flaxseed has on human health and nutrition.
Research to date has confirmed that flaxseed is extremely beneficial. Top flaxseed researcher Dr Stephen Cunnane, Head of Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto; stated in Prevention Magazine, April 1997:
"There’s nobody who won’t benefit from adding flaxseed to his or her diet."
