TBLSP of FLAX SEEDS LOWERS HARMFUL ESTROGEN

Flax seeds are an excellent source of fiber and lignans and contain phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are plant-derived and are the "good" estrogens which are beneficial due to competing with the more carcinogenic estrogens for binding sites. They stimulate the benefical sites and decrease the harmful estrogens which could increase cancers of the breast, endometrium and in men, prostate.

The fiber also helps eliminate excess estrogen through the gut and prevents constipation. Flax will help you with menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats.

If diverticulosis is a problem, the flax powder can be substituted.
