First, THANK YOU for your reply.
A number of websites, including:
http://www.livestrong.com/article/100037-natural-sources-progesterone-estrogen/
talk about Lignans being a natural source of estrogen, and indicates that flax seed is a dietary source of lignans.
I DO recognize that the internet is a good source of information and mis-information, so I thought I would ask!
Elsewhere on that same website it says:
"Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are one of the most overlooked sources of dietary estrogen, but according to a study undertaken by Canadian researchers and published in the journal "Nutrition and Cancer," flax seeds have a higher phytoestrogen content than both tofu and soybeans per serving. Flax seeds are also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins E and B, and the minerals calcium, iron and potassium. Flax seeds can be consumed whole, in a ground meal form or as an oil.
