It was flax's impressive resume that suggested its use in the treatment of certain cancers. Animal studies showed flaxseed inhibits the formation of colon, breast, skin, and lung tumors. It's positive effects on blood insulin highlighted a correlation to reduced risks of pancreatic and colorectal cancers.
A 2007 animal study by Chen et al, showed that a diet of 5% and 10% flaxseed for 8 weeks, inhibited tumor growth by 26% and 38%,
respectively.
