Is taking flax seed contraindicated if the lenient have prostate cancer?
Answer:
Chitiqua's answer was great! I also hold heard of like peas in a pod study suggesting that flax OIL is bad for the prostate. Eating the seed is not going to get adequate of the oil out to do anything, but they will net a good laxative. In lay down to digest any of the oil surrounded by the seeds, you call for to grind it up in a coffee grinder. The body cannot break down the tough, flat shell of the seed. A nutritionist friend also told me that the body does not assimilate flax oil impressively well at adjectives.the omega-3's (the good fats) surrounded by flax is chemically "locked up" in the grease and cannot be extracted by the body like they can within fish oils.
If you want fish oil, I recommend Nordic Naturals.
If I had prosate cancer, I wouldn't be touching flax at adjectives, based upon that one study.
I wouldn't appreciate why- the prostate isn't part of the digestive system.
Besides, flax seed have tons of Omegas and antioxidants which may be beneficial within fighting cancer.
Research oscillates...sometime something is good for you, the subsequent it's bad. I just now read that flax seed grease can actually increase prostate tumor growth. "..disturbing research published by Dr. Charles "Snuffy" Myers at the University of Virginia Medical School surrounded by Charlottesville. He has evidence indicating that flax core oil may promote the growth of prostate tumors. In someone near prostate cancer, I would avoid flax seed grease and instead take 2-3 grams per afternoon of fish oil" (Dr. Dean Ornish). The above statement refers to flax seed grease, the actual SEED seems to be ok.
True? It's one study. Still if you enjoy prostate cancer, it might be wise to run with the fish grease for your omega-3 fatty acids.
I can't think of any.
Check out Pat Quillen's excellent book Beating Cancer next to Nutrition. It is a goldmine of info.
forget the flax seeds,try pure pomegranate liquid for your prostate.
Listen to Chiquita she is right !
Maybe so but I know that flax seed can breed you very, really sick if you have I.B.S. (Irritable bowel syndrome).
I don't follow
If the long-suffering is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer next flax seeds are discouraging as are vitamin-c, antioxidants, tomatoes, etc. Best stick with the Dr approved treatments.
Flaxseed works okay and better when you add glyconutrients.
