Dakota Flax Gold (DFG) is one of the richest sources of valuable omega-3 fatty acids, 48% of its fat being omega-3’s, the equivalent of 3.3 pounds of Chum salmon based on a 50 Gram per day of Dakota Flax Gold.
Omega-3’s lower high blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels by as much as 25% and 65%. Omega-3’s decrease the probability of a blood clot blocking an artery. They are necessary for visual function, sperm formulation, brain development, and adrenal function.
Omega-3’s also lower high blood pressure, and help to decrease allergic response, and may help inflammatory conditions with the diseases ending in —itis.
Omega-3’s lower the insulin requirement of diabetics and have been used in the treatment and prevention of arthritis.
Cancer — omega-3’s dissolve tumors and are being researched continually. Dr. J. Budwig in Germany, has over 1000 documented cases of successful cancer treatment using flax oil and low-fat cottage cheese.
Flax is very high in lignans which have anti-tumor properties, antioxidants of 800 ppm and could mimic the results of Tamoxifen —- the anti-cancer drug for breast cancer… with NO side effects!
Fiber is an important factor in our diet. The average person in America has a fiber intake of 8.75 Grams per day – to prevent certain forms of cancer (colon or breast) and aid in the prevention of coronary disease, you need between 25-30 Grams of fiber! ¼ Cup of Dakota Flax Gold provides you with 11.7 Grams of fiber. There is simply no other food so easy to eat of higher fiber content. Just see how it compares to other foods!
