All cells in the body need ALA for proper functioning but they cannot manufacture it, so it must be supplied through the diet. Research suggests that ALA-rich food decreases the risk of fatal heart attack, has a protective effect against breast cancer, and helps relieve menstrual symptoms. Continuing research indicates other conditions such as skin diseases, inflammation and immune system disorders may be treated or prevented by supplementing the diet with ALA and other essential fatty acids. Flaxseed is also the richest plant source of lignans, which are natural plant estrogens that help with hormonal balance. Among many other benefits, flaxseed lignans have been shown to protect against breast cancer and osteoporosis in post-menopausal women, to help lower blood cholesterol, and provide antioxidant protection. Flaxseed is also a source of both soluble and insoluble fibre and, like the soybean that provides all eight essential amino acids, is an excellent source of protein."
