Hello Hyldens,
Thanks for your prompt service, however it is the same service as you have always given me. ….I had heard about flax’s health benefits, but had never tried any. I had tried vinegar, garlic, msm, and I forget what else along with Zocar, Lipitor, and presently Crestor to control my cholesterol. …my cholesterol was as high as 426. Today my cholesterol is 169, it has been as high as 187 and as low as 149 since I started on your flax. Today I recommend flax to anyone with cholesterol problems. ….now my doctor reminds my to stay on my flax.
Your customer for LIFE,

FLAX SEED?
What is flax seed?
Flax seed has been used in the diets of humans for
thousands of years. The Babylonians cultivated
flax seed as early as 3,000 B.C., and millennia later, in
650 B.C., Hippocrates used flax seed for the relief of
intestinal discomfort. Flax seed was so important for the
health of his subjects that the 8th century king,
Charlemagne, passed laws and regulations governing
its consumption.
Today, consumers are turning to flax seed for its
many health benefits and pleasant, nutty flavour —
a distinctive addition to baked products. flax seed
provides essential nutrients, including protein, essential
fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals; and it contains
both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre. Moreover,
flax seed is a rich source of lignans, a type of
phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are compounds that
may protect against certain types of cancer by
interfering with the effects of estrogen.
OMEGA FLAX SEED
A North Dakota State University research project led to the development of a new golden variety of flax seed named Omega. This new variety was created primarily as a human food source and Omega flax seed has a more pleasant nutty-buttery flavor than the brown flax. Omega flax seed was named for its higher level of omega-3 essential fatty acid found in the beneficial flax seed oil which is a higher percentage than the brown flax. This golden flax seed also has a hull that is easier to grind and it looks much better than the brown flax seed when mixed into your favorite flax seed recipes.
Dear Mr. Hylden;
First off, let me say that you grow a wonderful flaxseed. I was first introduced to flax seed last July. My interest at the time was the fiber value, because I had a bout with colon cancer over a year ago and was advised to keep my intake of fiber high. I have since come to learn about all of the other healthful attributes if flax seed. My wife and I both now eat your flaxseed daily.
