Flaxseed oil is made from the seeds of the flax plant. It contains high source of omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids. These fatty acids are important in the production of prostaglandins which help maintain fat metabolism, inflammatory response, hormones, as well as the cardiovascular, immune and central nervous systems. Flaxseed oil is known to reduce and kill human cancer cells, hence making it a widely renowned natural treatment for cancer. Dr Johanna Budwig, a German Biochemist, has been popularly known for her discovery about how the fatty acid and sulphur-protein combination cures cancer.  Dr Budwig found out that patients’ blood lack albumin which is a combination of essential fatty acids and sulphur-based proteins. Through this discovery, the Budwig diet was introduced. Nowadays, Flaxseed Oil is widely used both as a supplement and are usually added to meals to make them more nutritious.

Expert’s advice

Avoid heating Flaxseed Oil as the vital Omega 3 is very quickly destroyed, producing an oxidizing, rancid product which can be dangerous to your health.
