Why FLAX and not Bread Crumbs?
well let me tell ya…
Flax has three LARGE benefits to our diet
1. Great source of fiber. One tablespoon of flax contains 8 grams of fiber!! Which helps keep bowel movements regular.
                         Come on girls, I know we tell boys we dont participate in            
                     these “bowel movements" but.. its time to face the facts. 
                         2. Plant source of Omega-3. This Omega-3 plays an important role in the anti-inflammatory system of our body.
3. Another benefit for our private parts ladies AND gentlemen. Flax contains lignans. This reduces the risk of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
