  schema:description "Ground flaxseed is a high-fibre food that can help constipation. As a cancer treatment it has only small studies of tumour growth markers in prostate and breast cancer, and in a trial it did not reduce hot flushes in women with or without breast cancer. It has weak oestrogen-like effects, so people with hormone-sensitive breast cancer should ask their team before taking supplement doses."@en ;
