The consumption of linseed is associated with a reduction in total cholesterol, including the LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides. Linseed is also high in alpha linolenic acid (ALA) which has been found to be promising as a cancer fighting agent. The American National Cancer Institute has singled out linseed as one of six foods that deserve special study. Linseed is also high in Omega 3 essential fatty acids. Linseed, like soy, is a phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are estrogen-like substances that are found in plants and linseed is the richest known plant source of phytoestrogens. Linseeds contain 40% oil, most of which are the crucial omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs), the combination of EFAs and fibre in linseed helps to promote normal cholesterol levels.
