Can flaxseed help reduce cancer?

Flaxseed is a rich source of plant lignans which recent studies have shown to have anticancer properties.

Plant lignans work in such a way that restricts the cancer promoting effects of estrogen on breast tissue. Recent studies showed that women with a high level of phytoestrogen enterolactone – which was linked to a high lignan intake from foods like flaxseed had a 58% reduced risk of breast cancer.

Plant lignans have also demonstrated positive effects on prostate cancer as they have been shown to slow tumor growth. A low fat diet with 30 grams of ground flaxseed reduces serum testosterone by 15 %, slows the rate at which cancer cells grow and increases the rate of death of cancer cells.
