Scientific studies have found evidence that ingesting flax on a daily basis may help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. And since Flaxmilk is rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids known for their heart-healthy benefits, a daily glass of Flaxmilk makes sense. It’s also a good companion to whole grain cereal or as a dairy-free substitute in recipes: One eight ounce serving of Flaxmilk is only 50 calories and provides as much calcium as cow’s milk — with zero cholesterol and zero Trans fat. In addition, Flaxmilk is plant-based and enriched with Vitamins A, D, and B12. A study published in the 2006 issue of the American Journal of Cardiology stated that sources of plant-derived omega-3 fatty acids, which include flaxseed and flaxseed oil, had remarkable cardio-protective effects. It was recommended that consumption of these food sources should be increased to decrease cardiovascular disease risk. Flaxmilk is made by Flax USA, Inc., a company operated by the Stober family, fifth generation North Dakota farmers. Flax USA was founded in 2001 to market Golden Omega Flax Seed, a high-quality, non-GMO flax seed that’s 100% natural and grown on the Stobers’ 1,600 acre farm. “I started Flax USA to make it easier and tastier for consumers to add flax to their daily diets and reap the multitude of health benefits,” says Stephanie Stober, the company’s president and owner. “In addition to the full line of omega 3 flax products that we market, including flax seed, flax oil and pet food, we were excited to be the first to produce 100% natural Flaxmilk so that all consumers, adults and children, could enjoy a lactose-free, dairy free, soy-free, gluten-free milk product derived from flax.” Flaxmilk comes in original and vanilla flavors and is sold in ½ gallon containers at Wal-Mart stores across the country for $2.98.
