Re: The Anti-Cancer Shopping List
For the flax question - supposedly flax does have phytoestrogens but I feel it is not in the same league as soy. I would be careful about high lignan varieties of oil if hormone positive. Flax is soooo good for you. We buy it and my husband uses it ground like wheat germ on cereal every weekday. I use it once a week that way too and on Sunday - pancake day, I put about 1/4c in the batter. I believe this will not hurt you at all but I would hope Tanya would comment.
I also believe soy eaten now and again will not hurt you either - when you get Chinese etc.
