Consumption of flaxseed was associated with an 18% reduction in the risk of breast cancer according to a study from Cancer Care Ontario, the Canadian government’s cancer advisor.
Consumption of flax bread was associated with an 23% reduction in the risk of breast cancer.
“This Canadian study is, to our knowledge, the first to report on the association between flaxseed alone and breast cancer risk and has found that flaxseed intake is associated with a reduction in breast cancer risk,” the paper concludes.
