Why?: Why would you want to take flaxseed when you don't know what's in it, what it's supposed to do, or why you're taking it. Don't get your medical info from friends, tv or the internet. It won't help and could harm you. Make sure your thyroid level is normal on brand name replacement.

No clear dangers: Ground flax seeds are a good source of omega 3 & 6 fatty acids which have many health benefits & may be important in improving function of thyroid hormone receptors- see http://www.Cse.Iitb.Ac.In/~suranga/flax.Html flax contains traces of thiocyanite which may harm thyroid, but more experts say flax helps thyroid than harms it.
