Re flax seed.

Please use the seach facility above and check out the posts on flax seed.

Here is one, and there are others. Try flax seed and one word flaxseed in the search engine above - click on search.

And here is one on fats. The potentially eostrogenic components of flaxseed should not be confused with the compontents of oils DHA EPA etc. They are not the same.

Flaxseed is high in omega three, and I understand the oil contains no phyto - oestrogens.

There does seem to be confusion on the role of flax seed and flax oil.

You may wish to print out the trials and show them to your onc or discuss them with whoever talked to you about flaxseed.

If you can provide any definative answers please do come back.
