The Facts on Flax Oil
 Why do health conscious consumers nationwide
take a tablespoon of Matol’s Omega 3-6-9 every day? Because of the way it
makes them feel! Seems as though most everyone has heard the news about
Omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed oil these days. Hardly a day goes by when
Omega-3’s are not featured on the nightly news, in local newspapers, radio
and television programs or in health and nutrition magazines. Even many
mainstream doctors are expounding on the virtues of flax oil to their
patients, family and friends, and in the media.
So what’s all the excitement about? According to the World Health Organization, Omega-3 fatty acids from vegetable sources such as flaxseed oil are essential to optimal health and life. As it is an essential nutrient, we must obtain Omega-3 fatty acids in the foods we eat. The problem is that we simply do not get enough Omega-3’s in our Standard American Diet (SAD). According to Dr. Artemis Simopoulos, M.D., author of The Omega Plan, Omega-3 fatty acids are undetectable in blood samples of 20% of Americans. As for the rest of us – we may be critically deficient in this vital nutrient. Thus, the need to supplement our diet with Omega-3 rich flax oil is vital. Dr. Donald Rudin, M.D., in his book Omega-3 Oils, likens today’s rampant Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency to the classic B-vitamin deficiencies, pellagra and beriberi of the early 1900’s. The fact is, a deficiency of Omega-3 fatty acids is associated with over 50 common diseases and illnesses. A recent MedLine search of peer-reviewed medical journals established a relationship between Omega-3 deficiency and many serious afflictions.
