Intersting... I don't remember his name anymore, but there was a health influencer that was known for trying 'cutting edge' experiments on himself. If I recall correctly, he had a heart attack while out for a jog. His experiment at the time was eating massive amounts of flax. Tim Ferris talked about it on his podcast, and I believe Angelo Coppola talked about him on his podcast, too.

Flax is also touted for it's ability to produce Mother's Milk. I doubt it actually does that. It didn't work for my wife.

I believe Charles Poliquin was advocating large amounts of fish oil when he died of a heart attack too.
