Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Sorry Tammatha, no n's Here is a post from me a few days ago. I'm hoping Dr Loretta Lanphier can shed some light on this. ....................................................................... Posted by Kygos 5/28 Ok, I'm getting confused. The paradox is that lignans are accepted as good, but the flax oil is thought to contribute to prostate cancer because of the high ALA content. But the Budwig is accepted as good, so is it the combination with the sulpher proteins in the milk products? ........................................ Quote... " Dissecting the paradox " " The valuable lignans in flaxseed are found in the outer shell of the seeds. But when the seeds are refined into oil, only a trace of the lignans ends up in the finished product. This same process dramatically increases the concentration of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), one of the primary omega-3 fatty acids. And while some studies have suggested that ALA may slow cancerous growth in the breast and colon, the effect on prostate cancer is an entirely different story. Out of six known studies that have examined the association between the risk of prostate cancer and the intake of dietary alpha-linolenic acid, five of them found the cancer risk to increase with greater intake of ALA. And the most recent of these studies - a trial from the Registro Nacional de Cancer, Montevideo, Uruguay - concluded that the two major risk factors associated with prostate cancer are a family history of prostate cancer and intake of alpha-linolenic acid. Do you ingest ALA when you eat flaxseeds? Yes, but compared to the ALA content of flaxseed oil, the ALA in the seeds is generally considered too low to be harmful to prostate cancer patients. To say the jury is still out on the effects of flaxseed and flaxseed oil on prostate cancer is an understatement. But further studies are now in the works and, as they're reported, the huge gray areas in this field of study will come into clearer focus.
