I see that flaxseeds contain lignans heavy in phytoestrogens. I have read that they actually compete with estrogen in the body for receptor binding, thereby, decreasing its effects. But, I would assume that these phytoestrogens produce similar downstream effects as the actual hormone. I have been consuming flaxseeds almost daily for a while now with the thought of benefitting from natural n-3s and healthy fats. Should I stop?
