“…Despite the increasing research studies on the seed of flax in the last decade, there seem to be inconsistencies between previous studies evaluating its effects on appetite and/or satiety. Some trials suggested an inverse relationship between flaxseed intake and appetite (Ibrugger, Kristensen, Mikkelsen, & Astrup, 2012; Kristensen et al, 2013; Lakhani & Ibrahim, 2016; Monteiro, Rosa, Luiz, Neto, & Oliveira, 2016; Vuksan et al, 2017), while others showed no effects of flaxseed consumption neither on appetite nor on satiety compared with control groups (Almehmadi, Lightowler, Clegg, & Chohan, 2018; Candido et al, 2018; Cohen et al, 2013; Kristensen et al, 2012; Lafond, Greaves, Maki, Leidy, & Romsos, 2015; Vuksan et al, 2017). Therefore, we aimed to assess this relationship more precisely and conclusively in a systematic review of clinical trials on humans for the first time.…”
