Flaxseed also contains a rich level of omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, it is one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids. It has a pleasant nutty taste and could provide an alternative to fish for those who don't like cod liver oil.
Working with Flax Canada 2015, an initiative supported by Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada to promote research on flaxseed, and the Canadian International Grain Institute, lab technicians are feeding flaxseed-enriched muffins to healthy subjects to see how the omega-3 fatty acids are absorbed, what kind of flaxseed is best to use, and how much flaxseed one needs to eat to obtain therapeutic blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
These are all fundamental questions that need to be answered. The team has found that while ground flaxseed provided omega...

Nearly a year-and-a-half after breaking ground on the east side of Brandon, Shape Foods Inc. completed the final touches on its first omega-3 flax oil and meal plant earlier this week. The plant itself is fully automated - from the oil extraction process to the blending tanks - and sports touch-screen computer control stations at several points along the production line. [...] Shape Foods' main products - flax oil, with sunflower and olive oil blends - have been so well received by New York-based supermarket chains, that Comis believes the plant will be at full peak at the two-year mark, much earlier than first anticipated.

Morning: Rise early and go for a half-day kayak trip with one of the city's organized outfitters (such as Island Adventure Tours; 866-812-7103; islandadventuretours.com). They'll fetch you from your hotel, whereupon you'll drive 30 minutes through the farm-flanked Saanich Peninsula and into Sidney-by-the-Sea, a teeny township known for its quaint bookshops and marinas. Sun's shining and the water's sparkling as you slice through bays and inlets, spotting sea lions at play and bald eagles soaring above. Even the egrets seen to have no regrets.
No use heading right back into Victoria proper, as you're spitting distance from the famed Butchart Gardens (866-652- 4422; butchartgardens.com). You may even be early enough to bypass the tour-bus masses. Even if pretty flowers aren't your cup of...

The ledger that Ann De Witt Bevier kept from 1802 until 1813 represents a rich primary source that provides perspective on how a rural agriculturalist and household head interacted with the social and cultural environment in the young American nation. Her accounting records expand the gendered history of economic life by illustrating the life and work of a woman who managed a farm, family household, brick kiln, rental property, and investments in financial instruments. The costs of educating her children were also detailed in the ledger, helping to inform us about the educational opportunities for females in early America.

All that has undoubtedly created some communications problems that may have slowed down a final decision," said Bonds' lawyer, Michael Rains. "We find ourselves in a holding pattern.
According to grand jury transcripts obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle, [Barry Bonds] said he thought two substances given to him by trainer Greg Anderson were flaxseed oil and an arthritic balm. Authorities suspect those items were actually "the clear" and "the cream," two performance-enhancing drugs linked to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.

This is definitely something that will stay for quite some time," the 25-year-old Swiss star said. "It's not something you do overnight. It's a long, hard-working process.
"Climate change is probably the single biggest issue facing our planet and F1 is not immune from it," Nick Fry, CEO of Honda's team, said in a statement. "On the contrary we believe that F1, with its huge global profile and cutting edge technology, can play an important role in not only highlighting the issues but also playing our part in developing solutions."
"We're not sure what painting an F1 car green will do for the planet -- but it sounds rather like the definition of greenwash," T&E's Aat Peterse said in Brussels. "What we do know from our own research is that Honda is far from reaching its EU fuel effic...

[Priest Holmes], who turns 33 in October, missed the last nine games of the 2005 season after taking a hit from San Diego's Shawne Merriman that caused trauma to the head and neck, and doctors still haven't given him medical clearance to practise or play.
Toronto's Paul Tracy shared a podium with two drivers from France -- Sebastien Bourdais and Nelson Philippe -- and all three were smiling.

It's become common for farmers to refer to themselves as food producers, environmental managers and business owners. Now a discussion paper recently commissioned by the Canadian Agri-Policy Institute (CAPI) suggests they add "health-care professional" to their job descriptions.
Canada is facing a diet-related health crisis and a farm income crisis driven by very different challenges," said Laurette Dube, professor and founding chair and scientific director of the McGill World Platform for Health and Economic Convergence. "But a solution to both rests increasingly on the convergence of health and agriculture policy.
"Changing industry mindsets toward creating value through innovation rather than simply 'producing more' is extremely challenging."

'WHY are you taking drugs when you haven't tried natural ways to ease the pain of arthritis?" I often ask patients. I remind them they're not swallowing M&M candy, but powerful drugs that can cause major complications. Moreover, they forget that many natural drugs can be used to not only treat, but also prevent wear-and-tear arthritis (osteoarthritis) that comes with age.
Vitamin C is the most overlooked natural remedy. Osteoarthritis is chiefly an impairment of cartilage and when it's diminished by age, bones grind against one another causing pain. The secret is to keep cartilage healthy. A prime way is with adequate amounts of vitamin C, which is needed to manufacture collagen, an important ingredient of cartilage.
