Flaxseed Lignans vs. Breast Cancer Cells

I thought this information from the American Cancer Society was interesting:

“Most of the evidence for an anti-cancer effect of flaxseed and flaxseed oil comes from research using laboratory animals or cells grown in laboratory dishes. In one cell culture study, flaxseed lignans reduced stickiness and movement of breast cancer cells, both properties related to the cancer’s ability to spread or metastasize…”
