NYH and David :
?
Persons of the Board, you had better all make sure
that you understand that there is no standardized method for adding Lignans to
Flax Oil. The lignans are found in the fiberous portions of the seed. Unlike
Omega 3, its not an issolated compound that can be put back into the oil. Its
the actual plant material. The amount of lignans, added to flax oil would me
extremely small, because its the found in the "meat" of the seed. When you see
that clumpy stuff on the bottom of the bottle, those are your lignans - and what
you see is what you get. During the pressing operation, Omega 3's become
concentrated due to the shear volumn of seeds necessary to create the oil.
Lignans do not become concentrated during the pressing operation. So there is no
reason to pay for something that your not really getting. That is one of the
problems with the industry, all these claims and no standards for ensuring what
your getting.
?
But the Good News is - you really don't need em.
Lignans are beneficial in the protection against heart desease. Since the focus
of the Dr. Budwig program is on cancer, you will be getting all the Omega 3's
plus ALA's which are proven to be beneficial. ALA or Alpha Linolenic Acid has be
proven to retard blot clot formations thus reducing the risk of heart attach.
SDG's present in Lignans are benefical in cancer
as well as heart desease, but when Dr. Budwig formulated her program there was
no such thing as Lignan rich flax oil. Flax Oil (without lignans) has been
proven to make arteries more elastic and pliable.
