What article says in English:
Flaxseed has been disseminated as a nutritional supplement for years without adverse side effects. We must be cautious about the side effects of flaxseed before consuming because there is substantial evidence of its alleged health benefits. Flaxseed is introduced in the mid-eighties as a nutritional supplement. Since then it has been used to provide medical assistance in connection with various diseases. However, studies conducted in this regard could not support all the great reputation of flaxseed. Can not overlook the side effects of flaxseed.
Flaxseed oil is obtained from the seeds of this plant blue flowers. Flax seeds are one of the largest known sources of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and lignans. Due to the medical uses of these ingredients have been used for numerous diseases and conditions such as heart disease, or as anti-inflammatory agents. However, the oil derived from flaxseed contains omega-3 and only a very small percentage of lignans.
The risks of flaxseed oil
No doubt: Flaxseed oil is the richest vegetable source of omega-3, specifically omega-3 linolenic acid alpha. But in the rush to market, the benefits of flaxseed oil are exaggerated by the promoters, to the point that you have deleted the side effects, leading to many myths about its benefits.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is one of the main constituents of omega-3 linolenic acid alpha linseed oil and contributes to the medicinal properties of flaxseed. But the amounts of EPA present in flaxseed oil are very low. Only 1% of omega-3-linolenic acid is converted to EPA alpha during metabolism. Compared to this figure, fish oil rich in omega-3 has a better potential for conversion during metabolism.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Nutrition flaxseed is very effective against inflammatory diseases. Flaxseed oil is generally considered an anti-inflammatory agent, but some studies have shown the opposite situation: increases inflammation in most cases.
There is debate about the controversial role played in flaxseed cases of prostate cancer. Although research in this area has been minimal, some studies suggest that omega-3 linolenic acid alpha is a stimulant of prostate cancer.
In studies of the effects of dietary habits on prostate cancer researchers have suspected that there is a connection between high levels of omega-3 alpha and cancer. Another study also reveals that there is considerable lower prostate specific antigen in the blood of people including flaxseed in their diets.
Although it is still unclear, there is every reason to believe that flaxseed may have responsibility for the development of prostate cancer.
A preliminary study suggested that high levels of omega-3 alpha increases the risk of breast cancer. Another study in this regard pointed to the little advanced breast cancer is associated with high levels of omega-3 alpha during diagnosis.
If there is possibility of intestinal obstruction, should not be consumed flaxseed. People suffering scleroderma, a type of systemic sclerosis should avoid the use of linseed oil. Although it is believed that the gradual consumption of flaxseed improves intestinal transit in some cases, many people with scleroderma have severe constipation and even bowel obstruction after consuming flaxseed.

It is believed that flaxseed is effective against diabetes. However, the positive effects of flaxseed on blood glucose levels are not supported by any major medical study. In fact, in some cases, adverse effects have been reported.

Few laboratory studies have been conducted to find the effects of flaxseed consumption in conjunction with triglyceride levels. In animals these effects are unclear: in some cases the results show increased levels of triglycerides; in other cases, the contrary. The human studies in this area have concluded mixed data, with low levels in some studies and no effect in others.
