In a worse-case scenario, how much flaxseed is too much?
The average American should stick to under 1.5 tablespoons a day if you’re going to eat them every day. So, my tablespoon-a-day Daily Dozen recommendation should be safe by any of these standards.

At the end, it says you should stay below 1.5 tablespoon of flax seeds per day, if you eat them everyday, to stay below the safety limit for cyanide. But it must be mentioned, that it assumes you don't eat any other source of cyanide. Many foods contain cyanide and so does B12 supplement - cyanocobalamin. So the actual limit of flax seeds per day is somewhat lower.

After discovering Dr Greger I started adding a tablespoon of flaxseed meal to my oatmeal everyday. About six months in I started experiencing some tenderness in my right testicle. It felt hard and seemed to be higher than normal. Then, one day, I randomly watched this video. As I heard the part about the effects of flaxseed on rat testicles I wondered if that could be causing my pain. I quit adding it to my breakfast and voilà, My symptoms subsided over next month. Cause and effect? Who knows.

Generally everyone I've discussed flax seeds with over here says: "You shouldn't eat flax seeds, it contains CYANIDE!" and I'm like... "Yeah you're right, but nowhere the amount needed for any kind of negative effect within reasonable doses." to which they respond: "Why risk it though?"... Which is like saying why eat broccoli when too much broccoli can cause a whole bunch of problems. That's just the people I know though but I'd imagine most Swedes have a similar confidence of statements by the institution that gives us nutrition recommendations.

I'm glad chia seeds are another option. The flavor of flax does not appeal to me!

@Philip J Fry I congeal them first, and usually grind them before that. I never heard about the toxins!

Hey Michele, I always eat my flax seeds when they are ground, in a Smoothie of 2-3 bananas and some plant based milk. I use some not sweetened soy milk since it gives some nice protein and the bananas are sweetening anyways! I can't really taste the flax seeds and they make the smoothie really creamy!

@Philip J Fry Man yeah. Imagine that people in the stoneage learnt off of their previous generations by getting taught as kids what they can eat and what they can't. Eating nuts and seeds as a person in the stone age must've been really nice since you can store them, so they last very long so they are a very nice way to overcome harsh winters. But no, hunting in the snow must've been a way more efficient way to survive am I right? lol

I nuke 20 grams of flaxseeds in the microwave with my oatmeal for 3 mins for breakfast everyday. does heating up/cooking it destroy any of the micronutrient contents in flax?

I do the same.. likely that some nutrition is reduced but hey! Why not just add some more (and some berries), raw, once you made your porridge? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Flaxseed aint healthy for everyone. I use to take flaxseed as advised by the good Dr. But after a while i started to get horrible stomach cramps. Couldnt figure it out. But purely by mistake i didnt buy any for a week, then the stomach cramps went. After i bought some more and ate, then within days the pain started to come back. I stopped flaxseed, the cramps went away again. Thats how i figured it out. So whatever was going on flaxseed aint healthy for everyone. I even soaked them and blended them and had them raw.

The rapidly increased fiber in your diet could possibly have explained your symptoms as well. I think I recall the Dr. mentioning that especially fiber in your diet is one of the things you want to change a little at a time in one of his videos on fiber. (IANAD)

@@-Kerstin iam use to eating a lot of fiber. I eat legumes twice a day, seamoss every day, nuts everyday. The only thing that was a problem was the flaxseed. This persisted for weeks until i figured it out. I was only doing two 2 spoons a day. So that should make much difference in turns of fiber. Normally excess fiber causes bloating and gas. This was not that, it was just a horrible cramping sensations that lasted through the morning until afternoon. Then repeat again everytime i ate them.

@imannews5419 5 жыл бұрын

Come to think of it quinoa gave me the same cramping feeling too. Took that out and never happend again. I think some grains and seeds just aint for everyone. Like i cannot eat bananas either for a simliar reason.

I got those when I didn't blend well enough & with enough water, or if I jumped too quickly in the amount of fiber when my body wasn't used to it yet. Better now, but I remember that pain. It also took a while to get my body to leave the water alone long enough for the linseed to absorb, rather than just needing to flush it out; I'd end up needing to pee a lot & then feeling really dehydrated.

Yeah makes sense. Everyone has their quirks and listening when your body says no is usually a good idea.

It’s still disturbing that we’re getting any cyanide at all! Although I know that many plant foods contain cyanide. Especially nuts and seeds I guess?

@aineg2259 5 жыл бұрын

Many things are toxic in the right amount. Water can. Vitamin D, selinium, basically most molecules can. As long as theyre not taken at a toxic dose, it is fine

You're never going to get away from toxic substances. Fortunately our body can deal with a lot of them perfectly fine.
