Sorry, I should have specified.
Since, as I understand it, the lignans are what is having the anti-estrogenic effect, I think it should be okay as long as there are no lignans added.
As for anti-aromatase properties, that would be more consistent among individuals, right? I think many people have found flaxseed oil to be good for massage, so I'm not too worried about that if I'm using it topically.
No need to dig up the statement on my account! I was just wondering if you knew offhand.
