How is it “click bait”? The most important piece of information that was very beneficial to me was not to consume flaxseed if one has thyroid problems. It made much sense and confirmed the negative effects I was experiencing whenever I consumed flaxseed. Now I can chuck it.

[@donalddonaldson4737]

I have been consuming flax now for about 5-6 years. We started with flax oil and then graduated to the flax-seed itself. It must be ground or powdered in order to absorb the nutrients as we cannot process the hull internally. Also...you do NOT need to consume fat beforehand as flax is 66% fat with most of that being omega 3 (3.75 to 1 ratio 3's to 6's) The greater majority of people take flax for it's omega content (the 3's) and your body's enzymes fight over which fat gets processed. If you are trying to balance your fat intake, taking fat before consuming flax seems counter-productive. One last thing. You can safely consume up to 50 grams of flax per day which is close to two ounces. You should only be taking half/whole teaspoons when you are FIRST starting out. This is to see how your body handles/reacts to the food. A teaspoon is a mere two grams and gives you virtually nothing in terms of the vitamins/minerals/fiber/omega 3's/protein/etc. I suggest seeing how your body reacts and immediately go to an ounce a day/morning. You can roast or sprout your seeds if you wish to eliminate the antinutrients although the greater majority of people have no issues. The consumption of flaxseeds should not change no matter what season we are in, as these should be a consistent part of a healthy diet. Winter summer fall spring, no matter. In closing, and I DID like the video, you can store your pre ground/ground at home flaxseed in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a month. Sure, yeah, flax is known to rot quicker than some other produce, but it does last in the fridge for quite awhile. CHEERS! :)

Hello Dr., Great information! I have been using ground flaxseed for 5 months; I add two tablespoons of organic ground flaxseed to my steel cut oatmeal every morning and it has helped to lower my blood pressure by 10 pts. I also add walnuts and cranberries…no sugar, no milk. I exercise two to three days a week (strength and stability) for 1 to 2 hours, drink 70+ oz of water a day and am on the lowest dose of amlodipine, 2.5 mg. I do store it in an air tight container in a cool pantry but maybe I’ll store it in the refrigerator from now on. Because of the results of the above combination, my doctor has suggested I continue using the flaxseed rather than increase the medication…again. In fact, an increase to 5mg had to be discontinued and I was returned to the 2.5 mg after negative side effects.

An excellent analysis of Flax seed. I live in Thailand where we don"t have winter, not much cold, no ice or snow (yes, I like it that way). But if you mean "winter" as in the cold etc then I assume the half measures of flax seed do not apply to those in tropical zones!

Dr. Joshi, I have Hypothyroidism and takes Synthroid. I have been consuming Flaxseed for several years per the guidelines of my nutritionist. Flaxseed is beneficial for individuals with thyroid issues because it is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation can exacerbate symptoms of thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism. Additionally, flaxseed is also high in lignans.

[@swatisawant8406]

[@danih7577]

@@gabrielle1777I have hyperthyroidism and It’s hard for me to find study’s because research simply isn’t done . If hypo or hyper there is an imbalance of TH1 and TH2 that’s known . I found only this study related directly to my autoimmune disease (Graves Disease) . I think there is an effect on estrogen and I was hoping this video would explain. Many thyroid patients use flax seed. It is important to know as stated in this self study that flax seed supplements or any omega 3 supplement should include an anti oxidant to prevent cell oxidation for thyroid patients risk of cancers (which is a very small occurrence ) ie., thyroid cancer but I take antioxidants like co q 10 because it’s beneficial to anyone with auto immune disease and I believe from my own chronic pain and blood work that omega 3 is extremely beneficial to me . Research study : omega-3 fatty acids are thought to reduce the inflammation associated with certain autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis [1]. They have also been investigated with some success for such conditions as Crohn's disease, psoriasis, lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis [2]. N-3 fatty acids are thought to exert their effects by suppressing the proliferation of T lymphocytes and autoantibodies [3]. Further, animal studies have shown that consumption of omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid leads to a change in the fatty acid composition of immune cell membranes in a dose dependent manner. As long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (LCPUFA) are incorporated into cell membranes, less arachidonic acid is produced, and the inflammatory response is thus inhibited [4-8]. Unfortunately, no reports could be found regarding investigations of their use for autoimmune hyperthyroidism.

Flax Seed is to be used to attack blocks in the intestines, specifically if there are polyps that fill up with rotting food and parasites, inflammation happens and pain then surgery. What flax seeds do is they enter the polyp and flax seeds become a slick jelly and will get to the lining of the polyp and coat that inflamed lining. The putrid food slips out of the polyp, then the body can heal under protection of Flax jelly. If u suck on a flax seed it turns into a gel. In the 1930’ to 1940’s all women used flax seed gel for curling their hair. From Farmers wives to the wealthy and famous flax seed was on every vanity next to a glass of water. Measure out a handful of flax seed into a cup of water. After an amount of time there’s a jar of hair gel. Natural, no odor, and readily available every where. The first manufacturer of commercial Hair Gel was 1965, a clear blue gel called Dippity-Do. A Rule of Thumb useing flax seed is Use flax Seed to heal something, stop after it’s healed. Use flax Meal for maintenance every day. Flax Oil use every time you make a smoothie or protein Drink. Use 1 Tblsp per 100 lbs of your body weight. If you weigh 150lbs have 2 Tblsp. The oil cures many issues, eases pain in body, lubricates dry eyes from the inside out. Good For Senior’s Dry-eyes. Eliminates a body’s dry skin, softens lines, smoothed wrinkles. many other corrections for good health. Do your own research. Stay Healthy♥️

Flaxseed is ok. It must be ground before eaten. Goes rancid quickly. Chia seeds are better because can be eaten ground up or whole after soaking in food for about 20 minutes.

You will never know seeds are there! Store jelled Chia’s in fridge. My small jar gives me a 4-5 day supply.. I have no idea how long jelled Chias last in fridge so that is why I keep batch small.

( may have seen that on another video.) A word of warning! (personal experience,) Chias will grab on to anything wet i.e wet sponge, dishcloth etc. Seeds don’t wash out! 99% will have to be pick out by hand!

You forgot a contraindication: people prone to diverticulitis should avoid them ... unless theyve been thoroughly hulled after sprouting.

I have diverticulitis....flaxseed has helped me so much. I am regularly going to the toilet each morning. No bloating no pain. Absolutely fantastic. I do grind them each day as required

Ppl say phytic acid prevent the body from absorbing the nutrient or make it digestible. Other report also said the body need phytic acid for certain mineral uptake in the body. When you grind the seed it break the phytic acid which is on the shell. So there are 2 train of thought here.

You have to dry fry flaxseed before grinding and consuming. Else it is VERY toxic. Helps me with my hormones, hair and skin. Keeps your arteries clean too. Contains omega 3 as well. Keeps you stomach healthy if you drink enough water.

Please elaborate why a thyroid patient shouldn't have flex seeds. Even if the thyroid is under control via recommended mgs per day.

[@dr.vivekjoshi06]

Flaxseeds if taken in larg quantities could prevent the proper amount of iodine to be absorbed by the thyroid, which can lead to iodine deficiency, which directly affects the body’s ability to make thyroid hormones. Flaxseeds are also guilty of containing goitrogens which can cause goiter and induce hypothyroidism. If taken in small quantity then it's ok to use flaxseeds.

[@johneivazi2271]

Please also comment on the oil in flaxseeds which is extremely unstable and it goes rancid in a matter of seconds after grinding the seeds. So, it is not advisable to grind the seeds and store them for later use. Grind your seeds immediately prior to using them to avoid the rancidity.

[@jasonpries8344]

"goes rancid in a matter of seconds..." No. Ground flax can stay usable for about a month or 2 if store properly. Please do a little research before sending random BS. No need to adapt an extremist POV. It has a reasonable shelf life.

[@mskoki5712]

Oil in flaxseed diminish once u dry roast them, then u can ground them and keep stored longer. But if don't want to dry roast, u can grind it & use immediately
