I just want to say that I think using the word “boobs” is offensive and devaluing of women. This is not a “boob diet”. I think the advice is excellent and important and that the way it is labeled takes away from the seriousness of it all.

Flaxseed is good but I should remind you all that it can very easily get moldy. You may not even notice but that mold in the long run can cause problems in your liver. Just keep your flax seed in the freezer. I have a small jar to keep one week supply (I also refrigerate that) At the end of the week I refill my jar from my flax seed stock from the freezer.

The best way to buy flax seeds is whole then just use a coffee grinder to grind them just prior to consuming them. An amount of 2 to 3 table spoons a day is a good amount. Just be careful when you start eating them. Start with approximately 1 tea spoon and add some every few days. That is a major amout of fiber and it can cause some intestinal upset if you jump in and start with to much.

Thank you so much for this article. I had NO idea that flaxseeds where good for the breast.
I have an MRI in one week to check a lump in one of my breasts that hurts :-S
Hopefully everything will be ok, but I will go buy those flaxseeds tomorrow and grind them as it was adviced here.
Thanks!!!! And good luck for all of you…

I bought Golden Flaxseed oil and found it horribly bitter. I took the bottle back and exchanged it for one with a later expiration date in the middle of next year telling the clerk that I thought it was rancid. The new bottle still tastes horribly bitter. Is that the way it tastes? Or is there something wrong with the oil? I want to do all I can to keep from getting cancer in the breast I have left!

I know that we women excel at bickering but, come on!
Judging other sisters just because they use the word “boobs” instead of “breasts” is just plain wrong. Was incorrect information given? If not, then why not just leave it alone? I’m a recent breast cancer survivor of a rather agressive-type cancer and I can’t imagine why I should be offended by a common name for breasts being used by a woman who referred to her own breast — not yours — in this way! Sheesh! Lighten up is right! Let’s get along and play nice!

Hi – Most health food stores have Ground Flax Seeds. I get Organic Ground Flax Seeds at Queen’s Nutritional Products and mix them in smoothies and fat free shakes. they actually taste pretty good. kind of a nutty flavor. They have actually firmed up my “boobies” and grew them bigger and fuller.

We are in the information age and should be grateful that this information has been condensed and presented to us. Thank you very much Anne!
Those who are offended should take to mind and heart that she did not intentionally insult you. When writing for the general masses, even though informative, there are some writing styles that carry over making it more conversational or entertaining. As it was more of a personal piece, she had the right to refer to her mammary glands as such! This was my impression of the article.
I am sure that empathy and sympathy goes out to all survivors and others affected by breast disease, but to scold the writer is a little harsh. As Kim has suggested let’s lighten up a bit, please? We all have our little slips of tongue in other circumstances, so let’s be nice!
