Overview

Risks

Some people may be allergic to flax seeds, although it is not common.

Flax seeds also contain trace amounts of potential toxins like cyanide. But, the consumption of flax is highly unlikely to cause cyanide toxicity because levels are very low and the body can detoxify cyanide in amounts as small as those found in flax seeds. Additionally, cooking flax seeds destroys the chemical.
