Answer 1

No. Flaxseed has lignans in it that when ingested forms into a hormone similar to estrogen but not quite estrogen. It blocks out real estrogen in the body to prevent the spread of cancers, particularly lympomas and breast cancer. If you google flax (www.naturalnews.com is a real good sight) it will explain it better. Good question though.
