Trying to be more Flaxable

With all the talk about the benefits of flaxseed, I looked into it a bit and whether or not all the hype is true, it’s so easy to sneak into all types of food with really no effect on the foods taste or texture. I thought why not, it sure can’t hurt anything. Just keep your flaxseed in the refrigerator or freezer because they can go rancid.
Flaxseed seems to have a great deal of benefit in regards to diabetes and breast cancer, which my family has always had a high genetic risk for.
I even sprinkle a little on my veggies or put some in my yogurt, it’s really a very non intrusive way to do a little extra for ourselves.
