Claims5
A process for reducing platelet adhesiveness in flowing human blood which comprises orally administering to humans a platelet adhesiveness reducing amount of an edible oil obtained by
- pressing flaxseeds at a temperature below about 230.degree. F and in the absence of caustic to obtain a first major portion of flaxseed oil;
- adding approximately 3% by weight, based on the weight of the flaxseed oil, of soy phosphatide obtained by centrifuging an oil obtained from soy beans and separating the soy phosphatide from the centrifuged oil;
- adding approximately 3% by weight, based on the weight of the flaxseed oil, of a flax phosphatide obtained by centrifuging an oil obtained from flaxseeds and separating the flax phosphatide from the centrifuged oil;
- and
- adding mixed grain and soya tocopherols in an amount of less than 1% by weight based on the weight of the flaxseed oil.
