Doctors have suggested what product can protect against breast cancer

Why and how to eat flax seeds.

Eating flaxseeds may help reduce the risk of breast cancer deaths by 40% at a later age, scientists said.

All this is due to the fact that some cereals and some vegetables contain special plant compounds, phytoestrogens, the most important of which are lignans.

Scientists have discovered that these compounds are able to destroy cancer cells and prevent secondary tumors by preventing the growth of new cells. Particularly high levels of lignans have been found in flaxseed.

They can be sprinkled on cereals or salads, added to cakes or mixed with yogurt. Professor Jenny Chang-Claude, of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, said: "We now have clear evidence that lignans not only reduce the risk of breast cancer after menopause, but also the risk of mortality. ".

A diet rich in wheat flour, flaxseed and vegetable products, which promotes health in any way, helps to get enough lignans, writes the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
