Q: So many people I know are taking flax. What is it, and is it worthwhile?

A: Katherine Tallmadge, M.A., R.D., author of Diet Simple (LifeLine Press, 2002) and an American Dietetic Association spokeswoman, explains:
Flax Seed is a seed that contains alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid.
Omega-3s have been shown to reduce heart disease risk and also may help relieve depression and inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. In addition,
Flax Seed contains more plant
lignans (a phytoestrogen and a fiber) than any other seed, and liqnans may protect against breast, prostate, ovarian, uterine and colon cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
