[QUOTE]Dietary Fiber: Flax seed is a good source of dietary fiber containing 28 g total dietary fiber/100 g dry weight. Approximately 2/3 of the fiber in flax seed is insoluble7. Insoluble fiber helps prevent constipation by increasing bulk and reducing the time food passes through the bowel. The remaining 1/3 of the fiber is water-soluble. Water-soluble fiber has been documented to assist in lower blood cholesterol levels and maintaining blood glucose levels8, 10.

High fiber foods may offer protection against certain types of cancer1
