NEW STUDY SHOWS POSITIVE EFFECT OF LINUMLIFE ON BREAST HEALTH
Science Advancing Role of Flaxseed Lignans in Biomarkers of Breast Cancer

Netherlands, April 5, 2007 - Preliminary results from recent human studies conducted at RMIT University in Australia show significant effects of flaxseed lignans intake on biomarkers of breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women. The studies reveal flaxseed lignans significantly influence endogenous sex hormone production, metabolism and biological activity and may exert significant antiestrogenic effects which are associated with the decreased risk of breast health. These findings add to previous scientific evidence showing the beneficial effects of flaxseed lignans on breast health.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. According to the American Cancer Society, the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer sometime in her life is 1 in 7. As such, having a natural alternative to other preventive measures such as diet and exercise becomes increasingly important.

This study is crucial for those who are at risk of breast cancer because it affirms that flaxseed lignans, when consumed, are converted to enterolactone and enterodiol, that work against the estrogens in our bodies that promote the growth of breast cancers. Results from the first randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial showed that flaxseed lignans were metabolized to enterolactone and enterodiol in a dose response manner and were therefore available to exert antiestrogenic effects and influence endogenous sex hormone production, metabolism and biological activity. Results from the second double-blind placebo-controlled trial support the results from the first trial.

A growing body of research suggests that flaxseed lignans may be protective against breast cancer. A study published in 20061 reported that women who had a higher lignan intake decreased their risk of breast cancer by 58 percent. Another study conducted in 19992 showed that flaxseed had protective effects against breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

Flaxseed and specifically its lignans are reported to have beneficial effects on acne, hair loss, menopause, breast health, postmenopausal symptoms, cardiovascular health and prostate health in men. These beneficial effects have been repeatedly validated by data from in vitro model systems, animal studies, and intervention trials in humans.
