Hearing Loss Can Sneak Up on You
Hemp seeds are the seeds of the hemp plant( Cannabis sativa). They can be eaten with the shell intact( as " whole " hemp seed) or after the shell has been removed( i. e., as " hulled " hemp seeds or " hemp hearts "), which reduces their fiber content but makes them soft and chewy. Either way, hemp seeds are nutritious, providing a significant amount of protein and some carbohydrate, in addition to several vitamins and minerals( particularly magnesium and phosphorus) and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Hemp seeds are promoted for conditions including heart health, diabetes, boosting testosterone, improving body composition, premenstrual syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Visit consumerlab. com to find out if there is evidence supporting the use of hemp seeds for these conditions, as well as information about safety and potential contamination with heavy metals and THC, as well as what to consider when choosing and using hemp seed products. Products discussed include Foods Alive Hulled Hemp Seed, Manitoba Harvest Organic Hemp Hearts Shelled Hemp Seeds, and Nutiva Organic Hemp Seeds, Raw Shelled.
