this is a really important and interesting video.
I hope you will take something away from it.
My daughter told me about Linseed, and I remember my grandmother used to give it to me as a child.

Flax seeds are very good

Well, you learn something all the time on here. I was not aware that you could eat either of these.

I only knew that linseed oil was just used for thinning oil paint and flax was the plant that linen was made from

Flaxseed, also commonly known as Linseed, is a natural, convenient and tasty source of Omega 3 (ALA). This essential fatty acid is not naturally produced in the body so must be sourced from food. Every 30g of Flaxseed contains 7.2g of Omega 3. Flaxseed is also a great source of calcium which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Flaxseed also contains Iron which is important in the formation of red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen in the body. Grown in Canada, our Flaxseed is cold milled to protect all of the seeds' nutritional benefits and to aid quick and natural absorption into the body

My daughter reminded me about linseed, and I used to use it by sprinkling on my breakfast serial for constipation.
But you must be careful if you have problems with diviculitis and not use it, so I am waiting to see the outcome.

I think my GP suggested linseed to me years ago but I had forgotten about it.
