elizabeth  - lower cholesterol mixture 2008-07-27 14:41:41 I have heard from a friends doctor that a mixture of 1 cup or flax seeds (crushed), 1 cup of unsalted sunflower seeds (also crushed) and enough honey to bind them together makes a mixture to eat a small golf ball 3x daily to lower cholesterol. I am wondering if this has any claim to fame. Anyone know for sure? If you do, I would also appreciate knowing the reliable source it is coming from to conduct more research. Thank you! Reply
