Vegetarians can cheer since edestin protein is a complete protein,
meaning it contains all 8 essential amino acids.
At almost 31 grams in a 100-gram serving,
hempseed is higher in protein than even beef, fish or poultry.
While soy is chock-full of isoflavones, hempseed oil is the only
common oil that contains gamma linoleic acid (GLA),
same stuff people pay big money for in supplement form.

The hoopla on GLA has reached new heights

can kill brain and prostate cancer cells inhibits spread
of malignant tumors by restricting blood vessel growth.
GLA helps lower LDL cholesterol, bad cholesterol
that is a significant contributor of cardiovascular disease.
