Flax Hull SDG Lignans
The Food and Drug Administration of the United States declares: "The flax lignans have anti-tumor activity, antioxidant and mildly estrogenic. They are potentially the most abundant source of phytoestrogens in human diets and may be related to a low incidence of breast cancer and colon cancer. Their ability to prevent significant cancer is recognized by the National Cancer Institute. In addition to have anticancer properties, lignans have antiviral and antifungal properties " * (Obermeyer W, et al (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Div Chem Contaminants, Natural Products Branch), Meeting Of TheFederation Of American Societies For Experimental Biology On Experimental Biology March / April, 1993 , Faseb J (Fed Am Soc Exp Biol), A863, 1993. The famous Mayo Clinic The United States declares: "Phytoestrogens are natural substances that lower circulating estrogen in the body. Flaxseed is particularly rich in lignans qie phytoestrogens appear to decrease estrogen production and may Inhibit the growth of some breast cancers." The American Cancer Society states: "A study of 25 men with prostate cancer found that a low fat diet with flaxseed reduced serum testosterone, slowed the growth of cancer cells and increase the mortality rate of cancer cells." The American Cancer Society.www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Flaxseed.asp Lignans are a type of natural plant chemical (scientifically known as phytochemicals) and are highly concentrated in the crust of the flaxseed. The SDG lignan is a type of antioxidant, which refines some free radicals such as hydroxyl ion (OH).Our bodies constantly produce free radicals when we use (oxidize) fat, protein, alcohol and some carbohydrates for energy.Free radicals can damage tissues and have been associated with the pathology of many diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.The lignan secoisolariciresinol (Seco) of flaxseed and lignans enterodiol and enterolactone mamÃeros also act as antioxidants.In fact, the antioxidant properties of dry and enterodiol is more to the antioxidant properties of vitamin E. Basically, it is thought lignans act as plant hormones.When bacteria in the digestive tract act on the lignans, these compounds are converted into potent substances, similar to a hormone (known as compounds phytoestrogens). Promising evidence surrounding the nutritional benefits of eating foods high in lignans involving low incidence of colon cancer, breast and prostate cancers found in those who consume foods high in lignans regularly.The results of the investigations concluded that the chemical release of these plant hormones in the body can block the action of certain substances that cause cancer. Researchers believe these plant hormones mimic the same type of cells of estrogen in the body by blocking the hormone tumor formation.Unlike hormones produced in the body, these plant hormones do not stimulate the growth of cancer cells.In fact, lignans increase the production of a substance subject to human estrogen and taken out of the body.It is also thought that lignans are antioxidants, therefore, the researchers believe they can protect healthy cells against cancer-causing agents (known as free radicals).The research results are showing much promise in this area. It is thought likely that flax seed is a veritable storehouse of lignans compared to other foods.Many plant foods contain lignans, but flaxseed has proven to be a superfood in this area, compared with 75 to 800 times compared to the amount of lignan content in other grains and vegetables.In fact, to get the lignans that are present in only 1 / 8 cup flax seed, you have to eat about 60 cups of fresh broccoli or 100 slices of bread. The major lignans present in the bark of flaxseed are aglycone (SECO) and secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). These mammalian lignans are converted by bacteria in the colon. These are called Enteroidol mammalian lignans and enterolactone. These two compounds have phytoestrogen effect balancing the effects of hormones (hence its importance in preventing hormone-like tumors) Antioxidants eliminate free radicals that cause damage and accelerate aging, interfere with the enzymes that are involved in hormone metabolism. The enterolidol and enterolactone have stronger antioxidant properties than vitamin E Antioxidant activity relationship between vitamin E and lignans

Studies of Lignans Since its discovery in 1956, lignans have been under intense scientific investigation in numerous studies suggest that prevention and development of breast cancer, prostate, colon and other cancers. Did you know that flax lignans have a broad range of biological properties that make them unique in promoting health and combat a wide range of diseases. Other research has shown that flax lignans may prevent many types of heart disease and heart disease, diabetes and provide many other benefits.
Unraveling the secrets of the lignans in flaxseed and SDGFlaxseed is an oily seed belonging to the genus Linum that contains more than 100 annual and perennial species.Flax is grown belong to the species Linum usitatissimum (which in Latin means "The most useful or Benefactor.") Of this species there are two varieties: A pro is grown for its oil and other fiber.Flaxseed contains 27 different types of lignans and phytonutrients which the most importyante to the human body is "diglycoside secoisolariciresinol (SDG)."Flaxseed lignans are found found in the bark of the shell of the flaxseed and are emerging as a true superfood (nutrient dense) This makes it essential to be present in the diet of all and for good reason. You need 100-tablespoons flax seeds to equal the amount contained in a tablespoon of lignans from the bark of flaxseed. Flaxseed is higher in the soy isoflavones as soy can interfere with thyroid function, there is the problem with flaxseed. Soybeans, rye, barley, sorghum only provide 2 to 6 micrograms of lignans per gram while flaxseed adds an impressive amount of 800 micrrogramos per gram.400 times more lignans than other seeds.
