It is also important to eat ground flax seeds instead of whole flax seeds. It is possible that whole flax seeds can pass through the body without being absorbed in the intestines.
question about hemp seeds. I understand they have a 1 to 4 ratio of Omega-3 to omega-6 which is deemed to be beneficial. My concern is with the high percentage of polyunsaturated fats which for hemp seeds is at about 75% of the hemp oil. From what I've read polyunsaturated fats can become easily oxidized in the body is that correct from what you have read? If so does this not apply to hemp seeds? Would you be able to tell me more about this as it can affect us all?
Flaxseed is better based on its 4:1 ratio of omega 3 to omega 6. Since omega 3 fatty acids counteract the inflammatory effects of omega 6's, it's best to keep this ratio as high as possible. BTW, there's no such thing as a "hempseed"; the hemp plant is the male cannabis plant. Male plants produce pollen, not seeds. It's the female cannabis plant (i.e., the marijuana plant) that produces seeds. Marijuana seeds have many fewer omega 3's than omega 6's, so I would consume them only in moderation.
Allergic to Hemp.
So hemp seeds are pretty useless compared to flaxseed. Cool so no need to ever sell hemp seeds
Thank you PBSL for sharing!
Flax seeds not great for men .
However… I’ve heard that men should limit flax seed consumption, as they suppress testosterone production.

Yay WFPB!!!
I use hemp flax and chia as oatmeal
I didn't watched the video I just wanted to comment that HEMP SEED IS THE GREATEST SEED THAT EXISTS ON EARTH!!!!!
Very informative
What’s not to love about Dr. Greger?
How about adding both to the body 🤦🏾♂️
If I eat hemp hearts will it show positive on a drug test for THC ??

Are brown and gold flaxseeds the same nutritionally or is one better than the other?
HEMP SEEDS! THEY ARE NOT A HYBRID. NUFF SAID
I travel and it’s difficult for me to grind the flax seeds. Consequently, I consume flax seeds to improve my omega6/omega3 ratio.
Why not both?
Why choose? Lol
But hemp seed content CBD and a little THC that i need. I'll pick both for my breakfast

I use mix both in a smoothie.
The comparison should be between flaxseeds & chia seeds. Apples to apples!!
