If the HDL, the "good" cholesterol, is high, there's no problem." - Hyla Cass, M.D., Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition (Get the book.)

Note: All nuts and seeds (and also grains) should ideally be soaked overnight, after which they can be heat-dried in the oven for 6-12 hours, and stored in a dry container." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

Higher doses up to 60 mg per day may reverse existing TD." - Hyla Cass, M.D., Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition (Get the book.)

"The other major hemp food products are hemp seed nut butter, which resembles peanut and other nut butters, and cold-pressed hemp seed oil and hemp seed flour.

Hemp seed oil is a green, nutty-flavored oil that is best used unheated. It tastes a little like sunflower oil and is perfect for making such things as pesto or salad dressing. Its greenish hue is the result of chlorophyll, which is rich in magnesium." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.)
