AN ANCIENT FOOD FOR A
NEW MILLENIUM!
There are many different kinds of
flaxseed, grown in different parts of the world and each one has a
different color and production criteria. They are: Dark brown flax,
easily grown and abundant in most of the Northern States. This flax
along with the light brown and red flax is what is mainly used for
linseed oil and fabric. It is lower in omega oil and fiber.
There is a hybrid seed that was created
by South Dakota and North Dakota State Universities about 15 years
or so ago. The research was coming out about the wonderful
benefits of lignans and omega 3 & 6 oils of flaxseed, and
flax was rapidly gaining in popularity. These two Universities thus
created the golden seed to provide that maximum of these qualities.
However, the golden flaxseed has a more
stringent growing criteria that involve the right amount of
nitrogen in the soil, right soil itself, and specific weather
conditions. Not to cold, wet, dry or hot! If these conditions are
not available, the seed is inferior and lacking in oil, fiber and
lignans. There is organic flax, which is grown on certified fields
with no nitrogen (fertilizer) in the soil or Nitrogen fed. The
Nitrogen gives the plant oxygen thus starving out weeds and
providing for a higher quality/quantity of oil and fiber. The best
and only way to really tell if you have a good golden
flaxseed is to test it yourself.
This is what you test for.
- Is it shiny? The flaxseed should
be shiny and very oily on the surface of the seed. Our flaxseed is
between 48-53% oil. About 9 grams of oil per 1/4 cup!
- Are they plump seeds? Our seeds are large and plump, not small and
flat. A flat small seed usually means very little fiber content as
well as low lignans.
- How does it taste? Is it a sweet nutty
flavor or bitter? Does it smell moldy? When you chew it, our flax
will be crunchy then chewy. A good flaxseed with plenty of fiber
and oil will start crunchy, and then be gummy. If it is just
crunchy that means the seed is basically hollow.
So what about the flax found in Health
food stores that is golden in bulk? Many times the flaxseed that is
turned down by packaging companies is then sold to a broker for
bulk sales. It does not make it bad, just inferior. Blue Chip Group,
Inc. makes sure that the flax we package is as clean as humanly
possible. We lose a lot of our seed to the cleaning process,
but believe it is worth it. Blue Chip Group's Golden Flaxseed
is a superior product and thus offers superior results.
Our Golden Flaxseed is FDA regulated and we do not use
pesticides. Know where your food comes from, and that is clean
and free of pesticides. If you are interested in doing something

THE OIL OF FLAXSEED
Flaxseed oil is the richest source of the
omega 3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid. This fatty acid is
considered essential, meaning your body cannot make it but
requires it and so must derive all of it from the diet. The
average American diet is sorely lacking in
this healing fat. Golden Flaxseed is unique in that
48% of it's total fat content is omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3
fatty acids are necessary for proper infant growth and
development, especially important in the formation of a
healthy nervous system, and to help keep that nervous system
functioning properly.
It has been shown to be useful in the
treatment of multiple sclerosis, behavioral problems such as
attention deficit disorder, depression, and bipolar disorder
in adults and children. Omega 3 fats are also important in
modifying the body's inflammatory response, making them very
helpful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases like
allergies, asthma, arthritis and eczema. Studies have shown
that omega 3 fats can lower blood pressure, "bad" cholesterol,
and triglycerides by as much as 25% and 65%. It's impact on
the number one killer in our country, heart disease, might be
it's most exciting health benefit.
Flax (Linum
usitatissimum) is a beautiful blue flowered plant grown on the
plains of Central Canada and the North Central United States.
Medical research has taken great interest in flaxseed. Study
after study confirms that the oil and fiber components of the
flaxseed are wonderfully health promoting and are curative for
many disease states.

THE MANY BENEFTIS OF FLAXSEED
Golden
Flaxseed promotes the general well being of the body and is
very beneficial for treatment of a variety of health problems.
Following is a suggested DAILY intake of the Golden
Flaxseed that needs to
be ground fresh with a coffee grinder
directly before it is consumed.
The MAXIMUM health promoting benefits are
obtained by consuming this FRESH GROUND FLAXSEED in the amount
of 2 tablespoons seed (measure before grinding), morning and
evening. Immediately stir the Flaxseed into 8-12 ounces
of water or juice. Keep stirring as you drink the mixture, for
the Flaxseed settles quickly. If you have chronic illness,
like Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Bad Cholesterol,
Hormone Imbalances, Diverticulosis or Diverticulitis, Chronic
Constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, do the above 1/2 hour
before meals. Start slowly with smaller amounts of the mixture
until your body gets used to the high fiber. DRINK PLENTY OF
WATER ALL DAY and WALK EVERY DAY. ADDITIONALLY AND NOT IN
PLACE OF THE ABOVE , ground up Golden Flaxseed is
wonderful in baked goods, yogurt, puddings, soups, stews,
cereals, pancakes, etc.
Finely ground Flaxseed gently
cleanses out any wrinkles and pouches that trap bacteria in
the G.I. tract, and it lubricates the whole intestinal system.
Those with insomnia will find that Flaxseed will stabilize
blood sugars for a more restful sleep. TO PROMOTE WEIGHT
STABILIZATION, Flax acts as a bulking agent and swells 3-4
times it's size when ingested. Take 2-3 tablespoons ground
flax stirred into 10-12 oz. of juice or water 30-40 minutes
before meals.

FLAXSEED FIBERS AND
LIGNANS
Golden Flaxseed is 28%-35% fiber, 1/3 of
which is soluble, and the other 2/3 insoluble. Soluble fiber
has shown to lower cholesterol and regulate blood sugars,
thereby helping with both heart disease and diabetes. Soluble
fiber also plays an important role in maintaining the "good
bacteria" in our bowel, like Lactobacillus Acidophilus and
Bifidobacteria.
Soluble fiber is also soothing to an
irritated bowel. Insoluble fiber increases the bulk of stools
and prevents constipation, both of which play a role in the
prevention of colon cancer.
Lignans are an exciting
type of insoluble fiber that act as phytoestrogens. Lignans
have been shown to help relieve the symptoms of menopause, as
well as having anti-cancer, antibacterial, antifungal and
antiviral properties. It is the anti-cancer effects of Lignans
that have received the most research attention lately. Breast
and prostate cancers are most affected by lignan activity.
Lignans have the ability to act like hormones and interfere
with excessive hormonal production, excess hormonal binding to
receptors and even the transportation of excess hormone in the
blood. |
