// Hemp for Nutritional in Australia//

“Despite its use in our diet for hundreds of years, hempseed has surprisingly little research published on its physiological effects,” according to the St Boniface Hospital Research Centre out of the University of Manitoba and Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences. “This may have been in the past because the psychotropic properties wrongly attributed to hemp would complicate any conclusions obtained through its study. Hemp has a botanical relationship to drug/medicinal varieties of Cannabis. However, hempseed no longer contains psychotropic action and instead may provide significant health benefits. Hempseed has an excellent content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.”

Here are a few facts about the benefits of hemp:

** Promotes heart health with a 3:1 balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

** Has both digestible and non-digestible fiber
Rich in gamma linoleic acid (GLA), which is essential to the fatty acids in egg yolks and vegetable oils.

** Contains not only all 20 amino acids, but the 9 essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce as well, making it the “perfect protein.”
