The document discusses hemp as a versatile and healthy gluten-free food ingredient. It provides details on the nutritional properties and composition of hemp seed, including high protein content comparable to soybean and other nuts/seeds. Hemp seed contains beneficial fatty acids like ALA, GLA, and SDA. It also contains antioxidants, phytosterols, and fiber. The document proposes using hemp in gluten-free products like protein powders and flour as well as additives to improve nutritional profiles.

ü
High
in

ü High
in

ALA intakes of 0.53 to 2.8 g/d reduced the risk of:
ü Cardiovascular disease events by 39% (Djousse et al., 2001)
ü Fatal ischemic heart disease by 45% (Hu et al., 1999)
ü All-­‐cause mortality in upper quinPle of intake (Dolecek et al., 1992)
ü Each 1g/day intake associated with 47% reducPon in CVD risk in low
seafood eaters (Mozaffarian, 2005)
ALA reduces inflammatory biomarkers
SDA – increases levels of blood plasma EPA (James et al. 2003)
GLA may reduce Diabetes (Horrobin, 1997)
ü improvement in nerve flow
GLA may aid in weight control (Schirmer, MA and Phinney, SD. 2007)
Levels of LA, ALA and GLA increased in skin lipids aker long temr
hempseed oil usage
ü Significant reducPons in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) values,
skin dryness and itchiness
ü Decrease in use of dermal medicaPon
