Yes, I'm familiar with this. The fact that flax is not good for causing bad estrogen in women concerns me. Thank you for your reply, however!

Beware of Flax! It's not the "healthy" super food you think it is!
I just think that these studies are so mixed and not many people know how it works. For example here is an article that says flax might have a protective effect on cancer (http://blog.aicr.org/2017/06/06/healthtalk-flaxseed-and-breast-cancer/) It's like anyone can have a blog now, put up some study and say things are "good" or "bad". When really things are much more complicated. I'm certainly not "picking on" your article - but all of these "health blogs" are typically recycled information that is taken out of context. What was the dose? For how long? Was this a study? Was it a double-blind? What was the hypothesis? etc.
However, I DO appreciate you bringing awareness to health concerns. The more people are aware, typically the better they eat.
