Here is a tidbit of interest to all, but especially to those
of you who place great importance on diet as a means of avoiding cancer. There is evidence that eating flax seed will
prolong remission in ovarian cancer. The
evidence comes not from humans, or even mice, but chickens. As you surely remember, a little over three
years ago I wrote a blog featuring chickens.
It seems that the poor things get ovarian cancer at an appalling rate,
almost certainly because they “ovulate” every day – and, as you know, the more
you ovulate the higher your risk of ovarian cancer. In case you have forgotten this early blog,
here it is:
Well, people working at Southern Illinois School of Medicine
have determined that, in chickens, eating flax seed prolongs survival. They wish to extend their experiments to
humans and are asking for volunteers. To
qualify you must have ovarian cancer, but be in remission. Read the article and see what you think. Here it is:
Flax seed is said to be far from a dessert food,
taste-wise. I wouldn’t know.
Yes, Vancouver. We took the train and it was a fun day. My granola has flax seed in it and you can put them into smoothies. If it works for the chickens, I am game to add more to my feed.
