In mice genetically engineered to develop prostate cancer, a diet supplemented with flaxseed, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, inhibits the growth and development of prostatic carcinoma.
A team of scientists from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina reports these findings in the November issue of the journal Urology.
“We are cautiously optimistic about these findings,” Dr. Wendy Demark-Wahnefried said in a university statement. “The amount of flaxseed given to each mouse was 5% of its total food intake, which would be a very difficult amount for humans to eat, but it does signal that we are on the right track and need to continue research in this area.”
