Flax the Super Food
By Barb Bloomfield, Judy Brown, Siegfried Gursche
Paper back 127 pages

Flax is a nutritional powerhouse and a super-healing food.  Even in orthodox medical circles it's
being studied as a 'nutraceutical': a food with many nutrients and pharmaceutical properties.
Everyone could benefit by adding flaxseeds to their diet, especially those who suffer from
constipation, intestinal and digestive problems, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels,
and cardiovascular and other degenerative diseases. Flax contains important essential fats,
omega-3s and omega-6s, which are necessary for the proper functioning of many organs and
are not produced by the body.  It's also rich in lignans, which have antibacterial, antiviral and
antifungal properties and may play a key role in the prevention of breast, prostate, uterine and
colon cancers.
