What if we told you we sneaked a tiny ingredient into our Chocolate Bliss Cake that packs a powerful punch against breast cancer? It's true! That ingredient is organic flaxseed.
Flax is packed with a group of nutrients called lignans that work like a sponge – coursing through the body, mopping up circulating estrogens that can encourage certain cancers to grow.
A recent Canadian study evaluated the effects of flaxseed on patients with breast cancer. The patients were divided into two groups. One group received a single flaxseed muffin per day with 25 grams of ground flaxseed, while the other group ate no flax. The researchers found that the patients eating the flax muffin experienced a significant reduction in cancer growth, compared to no change in the other group.
Another study showed that a diet rich in plant lignans could curb the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women by almost 30 percent.
Flax seeds are also rich in a form of omega-3 fatty acid, called alpha-linolenic acid (
Because the benefits of flax are locked beneath the tough exterior of the seed, your body can’t tap into their power unless they're ground. And that’s why our Chocolate Bliss Cake is packed with a heaping portion of ground flaxseed powder!
