If I use canaryseed as a dietary supplement, is there anything to be concerned about?
Yes. Traditional varieties of canaryseed, typically sold for bird food, have tiny silica hairs on the hull that have been linked to esophageal cancer. For your health and safety, avoid these risks by buying only the “hairless” or “glabrous” varieties of canaryseed. Pureza™ sells these varieties as Silica Fiber Free canaryseed. If you decide to use hairless-variety canaryseed as a dietary supplement, monitor yourself closely, as you should with anything you provide to your body. Each person is unique, so what has positive effects for someone else might have negative effects for you, or vice versa. Consult a health professional immediately if you have any concerns.
