Hot (News) Flash - What About This Flax Seed Study?

Funny thing about headlines, they take a snippet out of context and turn it into an attention-grabbing conclusion. Unfortunately we are so overloaded with information, few of us have time to read any further.   What we've seen lately is that "Flaxseed Doesn't Help Hot Flashes."

Always learning

Always learning.   I asked the oncologist when I saw him two weeks ago, Who tells me when I can get the port out of my arm and What follow-up tests do you do to make sure we got all the cancer?
