Who can't eat linseed oil?
Flaxseed contains three important nutritional components: dietary fiber, lignans and alpha linolenic acid (an important component of omega-3 fatty acids). Flaxseed oil squeezed from flaxseed is a newly emerging high-grade edible oil in China, but w-3 fatty acids that supplement flaxseed oil have long been valued and popular abroad.
By looking up the side effects of linseed oil in foreign articles, we can use linseed oil with caution in the following situations for reference only.
1, in rare cases (very rare), some people are allergic to flax seeds and flax plants. Although the phenomenon of being allergic to flaxseed is rare, we should also pay attention to it. You can start with a small amount for the first time. Allergic reaction or overdose of flaxseed can cause shortness of breath, weakness of limbs, difficulty in walking, convulsion or paralysis.
2, blood sugar (affect the absorption of drugs)
If you are taking prescription drugs to control your blood sugar level. The National Institutes of Health suggested that diabetic patients should pay special attention to taking flaxseed products, partly because the fatty acids of flaxseed can lower the blood sugar level, resulting in low blood sugar, so it is suggested to stagger the taking time.
3. Bleeding (in extreme cases)
Flaxseed products may cause blood coagulation and reduce the risk of bleeding. Evidence-based natural standard research published by the National Institutes of Health suggests that patients with hemorrhagic diseases, who are taking drugs to increase bleeding in internal medicine, surgery, dentistry or surgery, should use flaxseed products with caution. Those who have diabetes or are using anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, scheduled for surgery or have hemorrhagic diseases should not use linseed oil.
4. Pregnant women and lactation (concerns about possible pregnancy)
Although omega-3 fatty acids are needed in fetal development, some concerns have been raised about using linseed oil during pregnancy. According to a study conducted by the University of Montreal in 2008, women who eat linseed oil during pregnancy have a 12% risk of premature delivery. Compared with the normal average growth rate of 3% healthy women, the correlation between premature delivery and linseed oil only occurs in women who eat oil during the second and third pregnancy. Eating whole or flaxseed meal will not increase the risk of premature delivery. The potential dangers of omega-3 fatty acids and linseed oil may bring a problem during pregnancy, and expectant mothers should pay attention to it. The safest choice is to avoid using flaxseed oil as the only source of fatty acids, and you can also choose other food sources, such as seafood, walnuts, sea vegetables, whole flaxseed or flaxseed powder and green leafy vegetables. If you want to use linseed oil during pregnancy, consult your doctor to see if you need to supplement it.
