Dear Customers: Be aware that Bob's Red Mill Organic Flaxseed Meal hasa robust, nutty flavor and tastes really great! Two tablespoons added toyour cold or hot cereal, pancakes and waffles or baked into your breads,muffins and quick breads brings you amazing nutrition. Also, please considerthat several studies show flaxseed meal may be one of the most powerfulnatural cholesterol controllers yet discovered. These studies grabbed myattention.

Millers of Natural Foods! What's inside each flaxseed and found in flaxseedmeal could be better health, spelled F-L-A-X:

F is for Fiber. It's amazing how much fiber a little flax contains. Justtwo tablespoons of flaxseed meal delivers 4 grams of fiber, as much fiberas 1-1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal! Studies prove that when flaxseed mealis added to the diet, harmful LDL cholesterol drops, while good HDL cholesterolstays put. Regularity improves, also.

L is for Lignans. Here's where the flaxseed story gets major points. Flaxseedcontains high levels of lignans, a natural antioxidant and a member ofthe family of plant estrogens (phytoestrogens). The lignans in flaxseedcan maintain breast and colon health by binding circulating estrogens andother substances that might promote unchecked cell growth. Many plant foodshave some lignans, but flaxseed has at least 75 times more than any other.To get the lignans that are in just two tablespoons of flaxseed meal, you'dneed to eat about 30 cups of fresh broccoli.

A is for Alpha-linolenic Acid. Modern diets - even healthy ones - areroutinely deficient in omega-3s. Flaxseed is a mega-source for the plantversion of omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid. The oil in flaxseed isabout 50% alpha-linolenic acid. Canola and walnut oils, the next highestsources, have about 10%. But most foods have far less. One serving of flaxseedmeal contains 2400 milligrams of omega-3.

X is for Excellent choice. Should you consider adding flaxseed meal toyour diet? Absolutely, say many doctors and nutritionists.
