Their greatest effect however comes with a little help from the microbiome. Bacteria have been shown to transform lignans from ground flax seed into enterolactone and enterodiol, which are estrogen modulators. Amazingly these compounds can block the effects of estrogen dominant cancer production in the breast and prostate decreasing the risk. Additionally, cancer cells already diving may also be reduced.

Thankfully, many products that one contained high levels have been repackaged to change this. Even so, there are opportunities to be exposed to this harmful chemical through foods and water as well. The good news is certain strains of bacteria have actually been found to digest carcinogens like BPA! L. casei and B. breve were found to bind to BPA offsetting the amounts that wind up in our bloodstream.
