Hemp Protein = Good For Your Body

Hemp is Mother Nature's gift to the world!


I recently visited the Two Hotheads on Cannabis radio show at Unregular Radio and sat down with Mike Cann, a supporter/activist for legalization of cannabis, to talk about Hemp Protein. 


Hemp is nature's gift. It is a very versatile plant that is beneficial not only to the environment but to the human species. Hemp is the perfect ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3.

"Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of approximately 1 whereas in Western diets the ratio is 15/1-16.7/1. Western diets are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, and have excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids compared with the diet on which human beings evolved and their genetic patterns were established. Excessive amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a very high omega-6/omega-3 ratio, as is found in today's Western diets, promote the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, whereas increased levels of omega-3 PUFA (a low omega-6/omega-3 ratio) exert suppressive effects." - National Center for Biotechnology Information
