Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Flax seed should be ground fresh right before you eat it. It gets rancid quickly after it is ground. If eaten whole it can go straight through and you don't get any benefit from it.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I am not the original author of the first reply to you but you must grind flax seed or else most will just pass through your body. Also you will be picking it out of your teeth for days! Flax seed should be refrigerated as the omega acids will deteriorate at room temperature. This is why flax seed oil needs to be refrigerated and can never be used for cooking. However I have used ground flax seed in baking and cooking and it still seems to have a positive effect. Flax seed has a greater effect on your HDL, good cholesterol, as that is the nature of omegas. That is not to say it will not help lower your bad cholesterol, LDL. Ground flax seed is an excellent source of fiber and since most cholesterol is formed by the liver, fiber helps remove bad cholesterol from the blood stream. Flax seed has a long history of health benefits that goes back centuries to Greek and Roman times. Richard Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth. ---Pema Chödrön Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
