I’ve started taking flax seed every day again. Did this a few years ago, can’t remember why I stopped, aside from sheer laziness, I suppose. There are so many reasons TO take it, they outweigh the pain in the arse factor. :o) I buy golden flax seed, straight from a farm in South Dakota, at www.heintzmanfarms.com. There is a lot of detailed scientific data on the health benefits of flax at www.whfoods.org, which is the World’s Healthiest Foods website. So far I’ve lowered my blood pressure, and have begun reducing my weight, as well, as flax is high in fiber and helps you feel full.
