A new study found that eating “flax seeds” would reduce the risk of breast cancer, after an experiment on young female mice, according to the magazine “Newsweek“American.
Previous studies have shown a relationship between consumption of a fibrous compound found in many plant foods, called lignan, and a lower death rate from breast cancer in post-menopausal women.
The secret of the lignan compound’s connection to a decrease in mortality rates from breast cancer was not previously known.
The new study revealed that lignans, which are abundant in flax seeds, are linked to interactions with intestinal microbes, which play an essential role in physical and mental health, by acting as a barrier against harmful microbes.
The new study showed Published In the journal “Microbiology Spectrum”, there was a link between microRNA in the mammary gland and intestinal microbes, in experiments on young female mice.
The researchers found that this relationship is modifiable by dietary intervention, highlighting a relationship between microRNA (miRNA) and organs, showing that dietary interventions interact to influence them, and suggesting a new path to breast cancer prevention.
“Microorganisms in the digestive system play an important role in modifying many components of our diet, to influence human health,” said Jennifer Ochtung, assistant professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology at the University of Nebraska.
“We found associations between flaxseed-rich diets, the composition of the colon microbiota, and microRNA profiles in the mammary gland that regulate several pathways, including those associated with cancer development,” she added.
Breast cancer affects approximately 240,000 people each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, resulting in approximately 42,500 deaths annually.
