I just received an email from my mom telling me about a distant relative who has prostate cancer. He was supplementing with flaxseed oil as the doctor, a prostate cancer survivor and specialist, said to stop immediately b/c flaxseed oil is a fertilizer for prostate cancer.
I did a search on this and found nothing. My mom is now all over me about dropping this supplement. Is there any evidence to support this? any counter-evidence?
Thanks/Pepper

I wonder if this means you should avoid flaxseed oil while running cycles...or avoid it overall

Like i've been trying to say. Fish oil is superior
