I've been reading about some of the wonderful properties of hemp seed and a few people have suggested I start taking it.  Have been using ground flaxseed in my smoothie and in muffins but it's starting to bother dh's stomach, so hemp seed has been suggested as a good substitute.

Like flax, it's been consumed for millenia and is supposed to be good for regularity, has anti-oxidants, is full of Omega 3, and helps control cholesterol and blood sugar levels.  Sounds like a good thing to consume.....

    I've looked for hempseed oil without success. I want to try some salad dressing recipes with it. 

    I heard recently that flaxseed is goitrogenic.  Do you know if hempseed is goitrogenic also?
