Thank you for your good wishes. I hear you. I talk fast because a). I'm from the East Coast, b). I love this topic, c). it's my natural cadence. Here's an idea to slow down the pace of my speech so it's comfortable for you. Go to the gear setting on the video and select a slower speed that works for you. I hope the video speed controls cooperate so you can make this work for you. Please take great care of yourself.
You so remind me of my mother (R.I.P.) who was a bone-marrow-transplant nurse for 29.5 years before she passed. She exhibited the same professionalism, wisdom, and was pretty frank about things with people around her. Thank you so much for keeping this channel going!
Glad you like them! Thank you for your feedback. It sounds like you’re a subscriber; thank you for this. More videos are coming. I’m working on posting them more frequently. The last several months have been super busy with other things. I’m hopeful 2025 will be easier for posting more videos.
Great question. Flaxseed oil is healthful too, and the same specific storage advice applies as I share in this video. I may cover healthful oils in a separate video.
I know right?!? I would assume they’re crazy sweet too. The first time I looked them up I was surprised to see that they weren’t just wrinkled lumps of pure sugar. This is good news about dates.
There's been limited concerns about this. See: plantrician.org/library/ask-the-expert/ask-the-expert-what-is-your-opinion-about-the-cyanide-risk-of-consuming-flaxseed/#:~:text=Flaxseeds%20do%20contain%20compounds%20called,raw%20flaxseed%20one%20should%20consume. " Jill Edwards, MS, DipACLM Response: Thank you for bringing up the concern about ground flaxseed consumption, especially in light of the differing viewpoints from the Swedish health authorities and Dr. Michael Greger’s book “How Not To Die.” Flaxseeds do contain compounds called cyanogenic glycosides, which can release hydrogen cyanide when the seeds are crushed (ground) and come in contact with water. The potential risk with these compounds is the reason some health authorities are cautious about the amount of raw flaxseed one should consume. However, it’s important to clarify a few points: Amount of Cyanogenic Glycosides in Flaxseeds: The actual amount of hydrogen cyanide released from flaxseeds is relatively small, especially when considering the levels that could produce harmful effects in humans. For most people, the body can effectively detoxify the small amounts of cyanide that are released from typical servings of flaxseeds. Effect of Cooking: Heating processes, like baking, can reduce the cyanogenic glycosides in flaxseeds, thus lowering the potential risk. This is likely the basis for the recommendation from the Swedish health authorities to heat the flaxseed. Benefits of Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (a type of omega-3 fatty acid), lignans, and dietary fiber. Numerous studies have indicated the potential health benefits of flaxseeds, which include reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer, as Dr. Greger mentions in his book. Quantity: There is indeed research suggesting health benefits from consuming more than one tablespoon of flaxseeds a day. However, moderation is key. A diversified diet helps in not overly relying on one source for nutrients and potential health benefits. In summary, while there is a theoretical risk of cyanide exposure from consuming ground flaxseeds, the actual risk to human health at typical consumption levels appears to be low, especially when one considers the demonstrated health benefits of flaxseed consumption. However, individuals with certain health conditions or those taking specific medications should always consult with their healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes. It’s always essential to balance potential risks with the proven benefits, and in the case of flaxseeds, many health experts believe the advantages outweigh the theoretical risks when consumed in moderation.

Flaxseed may have different effects on estrogen and testosterone levels in men depending on the study, the amount consumed, and the individual's circumstances. Some studies have shown that flaxseed may lower testosterone levels in certain populations. For example, a small study of men with prostate cancer found that flaxseed supplements significantly reduced testosterone levels. However, other studies have found that flaxseed does not lower testosterone. For example, a study of six healthy young men found that flaxseed supplementation did not significantly change testosterone levels. The results are variable.
