Meta-analysis supports α-Linolenic acid Intake and Reduced Coronary Heart Disease
Flaxseed provides a unique mix of fatty acids. It is low in saturates (less than 9% of total fatty acids) and contains the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3) and omega-6 linoleic acid (LA; 18:2n-6). Essential fatty acids are required in the diet as they cannot be made by humans. Most notably, Read More

The association and dose-response relationship between dietary intake of α-linolenic acid and risk of CHD: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.
Key findings This meta-analysis examined an aggregate association between ALA intake and risk of CHD, and assessed any dose-response relationships. The investigators searched the PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science databases over a 50-year period (from January 1966 to August 2017) that investigated the associations between dietary ALA intake and CHD. They included original full-text Read More
