Flax oil

[inquestion]

Hello,
 I have been hearing about Flax oil as a good supplement in general. I have alos heard of isolated incidences of it helping disperse some gland tissue.

However, at the same time, I have heard that it contains a good amount of phytoestrogens.

Maybe I am missing something about the phyotestrogen mechanisms, but wouldnt this increase the incidence, rather than help?

Thanks.

how about just plain flax seeds ground up?
That is what I do...I grind 'em up and spoon em in. I love the taste  .
is there something present in whole Flax seeds, that is better left alone?
