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."
