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.
