   Almost Medicinal, August 7, 2010

   This review is from: Bob’s Red Mill Organic Brown Flaxseed Meal, 16-ounce (Pack of 4) (Grocery)

   I am still raving the benefits of flaxseed meal after three years of daily use. Flaxseed meal aids digestion (flaxseed meal is easier to digest than flax seeds) which can be easily experienced by anyone with Irritable Bowel Syndrome or a sensitive gut. Another nice visible benefit for me has been growing longer and stronger fingernails. Bob’s Red Mill comes in nice sized packages which should be kept refrigerated for longer shelf life. For an even longer shelf life, I keep a few packages in the freezer until I am ready to use them.

   There’s some evidence flaxseed can help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Although flaxseed contains all sorts of healthy components, it owes its healthy reputation primarily to three ingredients:
   * Omega-3 essential fatty acids, “good” fats that have been shown to have heart-healthy effects. Each tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3s.
   * Lignans, which have both plant estrogen and antioxidant qualities. Flaxseed contains 75- 800 times more lignans than other plant foods
   * Fiber. Flaxseed contains both the soluble and insoluble types

   I recommend this product highly.

   I have used this product in baked goods (healthy oatmeal – chocolate chip cookies!) and smoothies, and it is great. It’s pre-ground, so you don’t have to deal with finding an easy way to grind your own seeds. It tastes great, and stays fresh for a long time in a crisper.

   Tasteless healthy addition to your food, May 18, 2011

   Amazon Customer (Chapel Hill, NC) –

   This review is from: Bob’s Red Mill Organic Brown Flaxseed Meal, 16-ounce (Pack of 4) (Grocery)

   Flaxseed’s latin species name, Linum usitatissimum, means “most useful.” Couldn’t have picked a better name myself. Flaxseed is a really useful addition to your diet. It contains alpha linolenic acid (ALA) which is an omega-3 fatty acid that helps with heath health, bone health and is an anti-inflammatory.

   Plus it is great for cholesterol. A study compared people with high cholesterol who added 20 grams of ground flaxseed to their diet. These people were compared to people taking a statin drug. After two months, there were significant reductions of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in both groups.

   So, clearly it’s good for you, but lots of things are good for you. Question is, how difficult is it to add flaxseed to one’s diet? This is where flaxseed distinguishes itself. Flaxseed can be sprinkled on all kinds of food. I put it on my cereal, in my smoothies, on my sandwiches, in cake and baked goods. I don’t really notice it. This is where flaxseed shines, it is an invisible ingredient.

   Alright, so I don’t notice it. How about other people? I put flaxseed to the test by sprinkling it on the cereal of a very picky 7 year old I babysit for. He ate the cereal and drank the milk without a word. Passes the test.

   Adding flaxseed to your diet is a no-brainer. Hope this review was helpful – enjoy.
