DESCRIPTION: One teaspoon of flax seeds may double one's daily production of lignans, phytonutrients that appear to play a role in both breast cancer prevention and survival. Have a question about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-lignan-intake/ and I'll try to answer it! This is the third of a five-part video series on improving survival for those diagnosed with cancer. See also Breast Cancer Survival and Trans Fat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-trans-fat/) and Breast Cancer Survival, Butterfat, and Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-butterfat-and-chicken/). For more on exploiting the slow growing nature of breast cancer, see Cancer Prevention and Treatment May Be the Same Thing (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-prevention-and-treatment-may-be-the-same-thing/) and Slowing Growth of Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/slowing-the-growth-of-cancer-3/). I have 10 more videos on flax (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/flax-seeds/) and some more precautionary pregnancy videos such as Caffeine During Pregnancy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/caffeine-during-pregnancy/) and Iron During Pregnancy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/iron-during-pregnancy/). In this video I mentioned alcohol consumption and mortality—more on balancing the risks in Alcohol Risks vs. Benefits (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/alcohol-risks-vs-benefits/). And if that's not enough I have hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/). Note that two of the sources for this video are open access--so you can download them by clicking on the links above in the Sources Cited section--and lignans are not the same as lignins, in case anyone is confused.
