Flax Seed Sprinkle

UC Berkley Wellness Letter: "Flaxseed oil is heart-healthy because it contains alpha-linolenic acid. Flaxseed itself (ground or whole) also contains lignans, which may have antioxidant actions and may help protect against certain cancers, though this is far from certain." This sounds like an easy way to incorporate flaxseed into your diet. Found on www.raleys.com.
