This book is specifically about flax seeds, rather than flax oil or

essential fatty acids.

The book starts with a brief and very interesting history of the use

of flax seeds.

The bulk of the book is a listing and explanation of studies that

demonstrate the health benefits of eating flax seeds. The

explanations are written in a clear and friendly language suitable

for all types of adult readers.

The upshot of many of the studies described in the book is that

eating flax seeds is beneficial for your health and that eating flax seeds

has health benefits you will not get by taking flax oil. This is

good news for the health conscious consumer. Flax oil is expensive

and highly perishable. Flax seeds are cheap and stable.

The book ends with 15 recipes that use flax seeds as an ingredient.

The recipes come with nutrition information, including how much

flax a person can expect to consume with each serving. Nine of the

recipes are vegetarian, five are vegan, and one is omnivorous.

A quick and informative read on the health benefits of flax. After reading this book you will wonder why you waited so long to take advantage of this healthy grain.
