Interesting

"They fed four groups of pregnant dams a different diet consisting of 6 percent fiber, either from whole wheat, oat, defatted flax seed, or, in the control group, cellulose. "The only difference among the groups was the source of the fiber,""

Note the ceral input was fibre and the flax was defatted so fat compostition has no bearing here ( flax usually reported as benificial is high in omega threes (fats)).

What chemicals in the the fibre? Are flax lignands in flax fibre. Why did flax in this instance result in higher BC rates?

So many questions.
