I wrote a book all about ground flaxseed a few years back (THE FLAX COOKBOOK). It was the absolute first book on the market on flaxseed (not flax oil). Many thought it was too early, that more research needed to be done.

More research always needs to be done – I felt there was enough evidence and strong scientific suggestions that people really needed to hear about and I wasn’t going to wait any longer. After researching the topic and writing the book I truly felt (and still do) that ground flaxseed is one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet. Ground flax has several components it contributes and the components even seem to have some synergy (they work together for maximum health benefits) in our body.

Well…since I wrote the book, I’ve seen study after study come out adding more credibility to the suggestions and statements I made in the book. One preliminary study on menopausal women just came out reporting that 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed (twice each day) cut their hot flashes in half AND the intensity of the hot flashes dropped by 57% too. Any woman battling hot flashes will appreciate the intensity decreasing too, trust me!

And here’s perhaps the most exciting part…the ladies noticed a difference after talking their daily flaxseed for a week. The maximum benefit was achieved within 2 weeks of taking the flaxseed.
