Flaxseed has been discussed in the past for causing cancers and even creating thyroid problems. It&#8217;s true that our bodies cannot digest flaxseed in its whole form, so it is better consumed in ground or mill form. To clear up the myths of flaxseed causing cancer, recent studies have shown that we actually benefit from flaxseed, as we get certain fats that are required in our daily diets since our body cannot produce those fats on its own. Flax offers us a number of health benefits if consumed correctly.<\/p>\n<p id=\"takeawayheader\">Key Takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"takeaways\">\n<li id=\"takeaway1\">Debate is stirring over whether flaxseed is really healthy for people. It could improve the diet of many who opt to eat the seed.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway2\">Flaxseed can be combined in to many different recipes too. That makes it a flexible item for any related diet or cooking style.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway3\">But debate is occurring over the relative health value of flaxseed. Dieters don&#8217;t want to consume an item that is simply unhealthy for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"quote\">&#8220;Although it has been criticized for increasing the risk of certain cancers and other diseases, the research to date on moderate flaxseed use is overwhelmingly positive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"readmoretext\">Read more: <\/span><a id=\"source\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ketodietapp.com\/Blog\/post\/2017\/07\/31\/is-flaxseed-healthy-safety-concerns-benefits-and-recommendations\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/ketodietapp.com\/Blog\/post\/2017\/07\/31\/is-flaxseed-healthy-safety-concerns-benefits-and-recommendations<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"task_trail\" style=\"display: none;\">(abstract 3K2CEDRACB1PCM84EBKMSXX90ZQMT4 3AAJC4I4FGSXKA9B781EMD2TKBYJZN AT84QVMJKN6PU)(authorquote 32K26U12DNO1LK6G6DLYAPY0O6IDVX 3Z7ISHFUH0V80TDSG44NXNTF40C8Z0 A3FYWUZK52IC2J)(keypoints 3H5TOKO3D9J36Y8MCUCXVTOVU0064O 31LM9EDVOLS33LVS4KQKRQVKAXBJNR A1CTJ8UT7SF317)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The good versus the myths of Flaxseed in a&nbsp;diet.
