CHICAGO -- Flaxseed will not ease hot flashes for women with menopausal symptoms or breast cancer survivors taking anti-estrogen drugs, according to clinical trial results.

STANFORD, Calif. - Post-menopausal women who took estrogen alone for more than seven years did not have an increased risk of breast cancer, according to a study of more than 10,000 women ages 50 to 79. The data were dramatically different from a sister study stopped in 2002 of estrogen plus progestin.
