A member asked:
Is flax seed dangerous during pregnancy? i've been blending 1/2 teaspoon in my daily morning smoothies. i'm 4 weeks pregnant and worried now.

Safe...: Actual Flaxseed such as you are drinking in your smoothie is thought to be safe in pregnancy. It is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids that are vital for brain and nerve development. You might want to avoid flax-seed supplements containing high doses of lignans or excessive quantities of flaxseed because flaxseed lignans are estrogenic and may change how estrogen functions in your body.
