My onc. said that nutrionists are saying that flaxseed is not benifical to BC patients because of the plant phytoestrogens might fuel tumor growth eveb=n in ER/PR - patients. Do any of you have any info on this? How many of you take flaxseed what kind? and how much? Currently I take Barleens flax oil with ligans one teaspoon daily. Do any of you take this kind?
