Book Description

September 2004
Not all fats are bad. In fact, doctors and researchers have discovered that some fats are essential for optimum health—that's why they're called essental fatty acids. Flax and flaxseed oil is nature's richest source of omega3 fatty acids. This book reveals how this important missing nutrient in your diet can help prevent heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain and inflammation. Flax is also a source of a group of compounds called lignans, that may prevent certain types of cancer, especially breast and prostate cancer. Highquality, coldpressed flaxseed oil has a delicious, nutty flavor, making it easy to incorporate into your diet with 101 innovative flax recipes.

This book is great. Hard to believe from a nutrition book, but this one becomes a pager turner. Once I started reading about all the great benefits of flax, I just wanted to find out about everything it has to offer. This book is full of great research, but you don't have to be a doctor to read it.

The best part is, once you decide to started using flax, there are a bunch of great recipes right at your fingertips. I've tried several of the salad dressings and so far I love them all.

More Info Than I Expected September 10, 2008
Format:Paperback
I got this book expecting most of it to be geared toward it's treatment for cancer but was very surprised, delightfully so, to find large porions of it devoted to it's helpfulness in depression and in improving the health of pregnancy, infants and children. I think everyone on earth should be taking flaxseed oil and after you read this very good book you will feel the same way. Good health to you!

This book cuts through a lot of the nonsense making flax and it's benefits clearly understood. I like the fact that I could open the book at any page and just begin reading. I'm certainly a Flax fan now!!
