Just the Flax, Maam Mon Jun 9, 2014 12:16 am (PDT) . Posted by: cohensmilk1 Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there will be better health. - Mahatma Gandhi * * * * The June, 2014 issue of Applied Physiology, Metabolism, & Nutrition contains a study in which the role of phytoestrogen in flax seeds (FS) and lignan-rich flax seed oil were explored as breast cancer medicines. Doctors in the Department of Nutritional Science at the University of Toronto concluded: FS and lignan intake...are associated with reduced risk, particularly in postmenopausal women. Lignans reduce breast cancer and all-cause mortality by 33%-70% and 40%-53%, respectively, without reducing tamoxifen effectiveness. Clinical trials show that FS (25 g/day with 50 mg lignans; 32 days) reduces tumour growth in breast cancer patients and lignans (50 mg/day; 1 year) reduces risk in premenopausal women. Mechanisms include decreased cell proliferation and angiogenesis and increased apoptosis through modulation of estrogen metabolism and estrogen receptor and growth factor receptor signalling pathways... FS and its components are effective in the risk reduction and treatment of breast cancer and safe for consumption by breast cancer patients. After reading about chia seeds in Robert Cheekes Vegan Body Building and in Christopher MacDougalls Born to Run, chia has become an important factor in my diet. Chia seeds contain plenty of protein and a full range of amino acids as well as essential Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils. They also contain plenty of fiber, five times the amount of calcium as an equal amount of cows milk, twice as much potassium by weight as my favorite fruit, bananas, and triple the amount of antioxidants as blueberries. The Tarahumara Indians depicted in MacDougalls book credit their ability to run 100-mile races to their consumption of chia seeds. * * * * Their vital energy increased after taking flax seeds... They recuperated. It took about three months for these changes. During this time, the symptoms of cancer, diabetes, or liver disease disappeared... - Dr. Johanna Budwig Robert Cohen notmilk NotMilk (the real) (therealNotMilk) on Twitter twitter/TheRealNotmilk
