Changed my mind on flax seeds

[Danielj1]

Having read how good they are for digestion, cholesterol and general health I have added a decent amount to my porridge each day - but no longer.

I have resisted articles up to now about their properties potentially increasing certain hormones that are a hindrance to letting the thyroid work effectively.

But having stopped taking the seeds I do feel a small difference and if there is any chance these might be causing an increase In my TSH levels it is now a risk I am not willing to take.

Would be interested to know anyone else’s experience over flaxseeds.

Why not eat beans, beans and more beans. Plus of course nuts!
