One FlaxSeed Muffin a Day for 30 days Kills 31% of Breast Cancer Cells in Newly Diagnosed Women. Choose Flax Seed Today!


We Grow the Best Flax on Earth!
SM

Canadian scientists, following up on previous studies conducted in mice, enrolled women newly diagnosed with breast cancer as volunteers to study the effects of flaxseed on breast cancer progression. In this study, one flaxseed muffin a day, containing a predetermined concentration of pre-lignans, was consumed per day for 30 days. Tissue biopsies were preformed prior to and after the 30 day period. The results showed that the flaxseed pre-lignans, converted in the intestines by bacteria into powerful anti-cancer lignans, were extremely efficient, in low doses, in killing the breast cancer cells in these volunteer women. The results were nothing short of dramatic. The growth index in the cancer cells was reduced 34.2%, while the level of programmed cell death increased 30.7%. Women who expressed the HER2 (c-erbB2) metastatic oncogene saw its expression decrease by a dramatic 71%.

According to Dr. Stephen Martin, Chief Scientist of Grouppe Kurosawa, data like this has ever been reported before... [more]

Menopausal Hot Flashes Halved in Preliminary Study of Ground Flaxseed
By Miranda Hitti


WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Louise Chang, MDAug. 30, 2007 -- New research shows that the tiny flaxseed may bring some relief for menopausal hot flashes.

The flaxseed findings need to be confirmed, so flaxseed isn't guaranteed to soothe hot flashes.

But in a small, preliminary study, women halved their hot flashes by eating 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed, twice daily, mixed into their cereal, juice, fruit, or yogurt.

The flaxseed study comes from Sandhya Pruthi, MD, and colleagues at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

Pruthi's team studied 29 women who had been having 14 hot flashes per week for at least a month and weren't taking estrogen to relieve their menopausal symptoms.

The women didn't start taking flaxseed right away. First, they spent a week just keeping a diary of their hot flashes and quality of life.

After that initial week ended, the researchers gave all of the women crushed flaxseed and told the women to sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the flaxseed on cereal, juice, yogurt, or fruit twice daily for six weeks.

During the six-week study, the women continued their hot flash diaries and reported any side effects.

At the end of the study, the researchers had sufficient data on hot flashes for 21 of the women.

The results show that the women halved their number of daily hot flashes while taking flaxseed. In addition, the intensity of the women's hot flashes dropped by 57% during the study.

Side effects included abdominal bloating (14 women) and mild diarrhea (eight women).

The study has some limits. It had relatively few participants, and there was no comparison group of women taking a flaxseed-free placebo powder.

Pruthi's team concludes that more research is indeed warranted. The full report appears in the Journal of the Society for Integrative Oncology.

Flaxseed Halts Prostate Cancer Growth New Study Shows    800.387.5516
04 Jun 2007

A new US study suggests that flaxseed, which is rich in omega 3 fatty acids and lignans, can stop prostate cancer tumours from growing.

The study was presented at the 43rd annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago on Saturday by researchers from Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina.

The researchers think that flaxseed, which has similar properties to sesame seed, probably interrupts the chain of events that eventually makes cells multiply out of control and become a tumour.

Dr Wendy Demark-Wahnefried, a researcher in Duke's School of Nursing and lead investigator on the study said that:

"Our previous studies in animals and in humans had shown a correlation between flaxseed supplementation and slowed tumor growth, but the participants in those studies had taken flaxseed in conjunction with a low-fat diet."

However, she explained that:

"For this study, we demonstrated that it is flaxseed that primarily offers the protective benefit."

The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, and researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill also took part.

Demark-Wahnefried and colleagues recruited 161 men who were due to have surgery for prostate cancer (prostatectomy: where all or part of the prostate gland is removed).

The patients were randomly assigned to one of four groups. One group took 30 grams of flaxseed a day for an average of 30 days before they had the operation (the flaxseed only group). Another group did the same but also followed a low-fat diet (20 per cent or less of their calories from fat). A third group did not take the flaxseed and only followed a low-fat diet, while the fourth group, a control, had none of the interventions.

After the surgery, the researchers examined the tumour cells under a microscope to assess how quickly they had multiplied.

They then compared the men who had only flaxseed, with or without following a low-fat diet, with the men in the other two groups: no intervention and low-fat diet only. They found that the slowest rate of tumor growth occurred in the two flaxseed supplemented groups.

Demark-Wahnefried said:

"The results showed that the men who took just flaxseed as well as those who took flaxseed combined with a low-fat diet did the best, indicating that it is the flaxseed which is making the difference."

The flaxseed supplement was given in ground form because in the whole form the seed coat is hard and indigestible. The patients took the flaxseed either in drinks, sprinkled on food, or with yogurt.

Flaxseed is thought to stop the growth and spread of cancer cells. This could be because the omega-3 fatty acids it contains interferes with the ability of cancer cells to cling onto other body cells, said Demark-Wahnefried.

The lignans it contains may also have antiangiogenic properties, the ability to stop the blood supply to the tumor.

Demark-Wahnefried said that they were "excited that this study showed that flaxseed is safe and associated with a protective effect on prostate cancer".

As well as being antiangiogenic, the lignans in flaxseed, one of the richest sources of these fibre-related compounds, are thought to interfere with or prevent cell division and affect hormones. They are antimitotic, affect androgen metabolism and have estrogenic effects, said Demark-Wahnefried.

According to the American Cancer Society, one in six American men gets prostate cancer. This year it is estimated that over 200,000 will be diagnosed with the disease and 27,000 will die from it.
