Flax and flaxseed oil is nature's richest source of omega-3 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.
