Well, that’s what a double-blind clinical trial has found.
✅ Blood pressure down.
✅ LDL cholesterol down.
✅ BMI down.
✅ Side effects? Virtually none.
✅ Cost? Pocket change.
Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies are charging a fortune for drugs that do less and come with a handy list of side effects that require more drugs to manage. Funny how that works.
You can read the study here — it wasn’t funded by Big Pharma (no surprises there), but by a group of Iranian researchers. Because, let’s be honest, why would drug companies promote something that threatens their golden goose?
Don’t expect your doctor to mention it. And definitely don’t expect a TV ad about flaxseed between the ones for diabetes meds and cholesterol pills.
As Dr. John Campbell explains in his discussion of the paper, the effects of flaxseed match or exceed the impact of many commonly prescribed drugs, without the adverse side effects.
Now, should you stop your medication and start eating flaxseed?
No.
What I’m saying is: read the paper, watch the video, and take it to your doctor. Ask the question. Challenge the script. Because clearly, the answers aren’t always coming from where they should.
