Flaxseed Oil was thought to possess some anti-estrogenic effects which have been studied for possible protection against certain types of breast and prostate cancers. However when these effects were tested in several laboratory studies and a few human studies the results were inconclusive. In some of the studies flaxseed oil products appeared to prevent or delay cancer while in other research the incidence and or progression of cancer seemed to be increased suggesting that flaxseed oil may have estrogen-like effects. Other herbal products with estrogenic properties have been used by men to lessen benign prostate enlargement and by women to relieve menstrual cramps and symptoms of menopause. They may also prevent or treat osteoporosis. At least one study of laboratory animals has shown that flaxseed oil in the diet may reduce the amount of chromosome damage that may be caused by cancer but not enough is known about the cause of chromosome damage or its prevention to recommend flaxseed for cancer prevention. Additional studies are underway to assess further the possible effects of flaxseed and flaxseed oil on breast and prostate cancers osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms. More recently flaxseed oil has been studied for its potential to prevent kidney damage in individuals who have an autoimmune condition known as systemic lupus erythematosus SLE . Some evidence from animal studies and human case reports supports the use for SLE but more studies are needed before flaxseed oil can be recommended for this use. Organic Flax
