Poppy seeds may be small, but they pack a big, powerful punch when it comes to fighting disease. In fact, each tiny morsel is crammed with a winning combination of hard-to-get nutrients, including plant proteins and the minerals zinc, iron, copper, selenium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin E, and B vitamins. They promote good health in a multitude of ways by helping to lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, reduce the risk of colon cancer and improve overall bowel health. Poppy seeds are rich in linoleic acid (an essential omega-6 fatty acid), which offers protection against heart disease and heart attacks. They are also a good source of oleic acid, an ingredient that medical research points to preventing breast cancer.
