Health in the News: 11.Aug.03The
Natural Way To Guard Against Breast Cancer Following
the worrying news last week that Hormone Replacement Therapy can increase the
risk of breast cancer by up to 50%, women will now be looking for an alternative
way to decrease the unpleasant symptoms that many suffer during the menopause
and also for ways to protect themselves against breast cancer.
Barlean’s
Essential Woman is not only an excellent food supplement with oils that benefit
the female hormone balance for women with pre-menstrual syndrome and menopausal
problems, its ingredients have also been linked to the prevention of breast cancer. Dr
L.U. Thompson Ph.D. of the University of Toronto has studied the power of lignans
in cancer prevention. She and her colleagues found that the richest source of
lignan precursors was flax, and flaxseed lignans have been shown to be protective
at the early stages of cancers. As well as containing flax seed oil which
is rich in Omega 3 essential fatty acids, Essential Woman contains lignans or
flax seed particles. Lignans are one of the most important phytochemicals that
people can consume daily to minimise the risk of cancer and also, if a cancer
begins, to minimise its spread. As well as organic flaxseed oil and lignans,
Essential Woman also contains evening primrose oil, isoflavones from organic soy
and saponins. It is cold expeller pressed from organic flaxseed for maximum effectiveness
and freshness and packaged in non-reactive light-proof bottles. So whether
women choose to take HRT or not, all women can benefit from the Essential Woman. Source:
