Ya ma ren (flax seed) and
its root contain large amount of lignan which is a strong anti-oxidant
and can inhibit the production of harmful carcinogenic substances.
Anti-cancer of the intestine
effect:: ya ma ren (flax seed) contains large amount of soluble fiber
which can reduce the toxicity of the digested substances and speed up
the secretion of the feces, thus reducing the duration of the time of
stimulating substance on the mucous membrane of the intestine.
Ya ma root can help the
function of the kidneys to excrete toxins.
Ya ma root contains large
amount of omega -3 fatty acid which can lower blood lipids and lower
the LDL in the blood and can reduce arteriosclerosis.
Ya ma inhibits the growth
of the prostate cells. In vitro studies showed that the lignan of
the ya ma ren (flax seed) can inhibit the growth of the cells of the
prostate gland itself.
亞麻和

Actions &
Uses:
主治﹕
|
-
Improves bowel movement
-
Lowers blood lipids.
-
Seed must be ground for
consumption because of the tough seed coat that is indigestible. The
ground-up seeds should be taken with water since the mucilage absorbs
5 times the weight of the seed.
-
It is not advisable to
use flax seed in baked food since the fatty acid omega-3 cannot withstand
high heat and can become carcinogenic.

Flax Seeds are the highest dietary source of lignan. They
contain 75 times the quantity of Lignan compared to the other
plants that contain next highest source of Plant Lignan. The majority
of the Plant lignan component of flax seeds is located in the outer
husk of the Flax Seed .

Omega-3 is a highly unstable
fat and can become rancid quickly and become carcinogenic. Do not use
flax seed oil for deep fat frying because omega-3 cannot stand high
heat. Store flax seed and flax oil in black container and refrigerate.
Discard seed or oil that smells fishy or rancid, because that smell
signals toxicity.
Seed should be washed before
using to avoid the mold , Aspergillus niger, which is toxic
for the respiration system and the mold , Aspergillus flavus,
which is toxic for the liver. These molds are commonly found in
grains and are extremely toxic.

Linamarin, after hydrolysis, can release free hydrogen
cyanide acid, which can suffocate and poison the cells.
亞麻苦甙(linamarin) ,經水解後可析出游
離態的氢氰酸,致組織细胞窒息中毒。
A diet rich in flax seed seems to reduce the size, aggressiveness and severity
of tumors in mice that have been genetically engineered to develop prostate
cancer, according to new research from Duke University Medical Center. And
in 3 percent of the mice the flax seed diet kept them from getting the disease
at all. (From news release issued by Duke
University Medical Center).
