Question: Flax seeds contain high levels of lignans and Omega-3 fatty acids. Lignans may benefit the heart, possess anti-cancer properties and studies performed on mice found reduced growth in specific types of tumors. Initial studies suggest that flaxseed taken in the diet may benefit individuals with certain types of breast cancer, and also patients with prostate cancer. Flax may also lessen the severity of diabetes by stabilizing blood-sugar levels. Omega 3 also aids in muscle recovery and growth. Hope this helps, feel free to email me with any further questions.
