Flax seed and test

[x3red5]

So ive been eating multigrain bread with flaxseeds and i keep hearing that it actually lowers test? im thinking of stopping it...

bread is processed and not good for you in any way

it isn't a food that should be part of your diet often

even if you want to bulk i wouldn't tell you to mess with bread, it will pack on the wrong type of mass. not a muscle building food

Keep hearing it?? From who?

Not going to make a difference man. Some things that will lower test are a poor diet, lack of exercise, lack of stress. Things like soy are not good for test levels but the effect isn't going to be major. It usually comes down to your overall lifestyle. Having a healthy lifestyle can have a great impact on overall test numbers.

Flaxseeds are high in lignans, which do mimc estrogen levels and can lower testosterone levels in the body.

For flaxseeds to actually have to have a real world impact on estrogen/testosterone levels - you would need to eat ALOT of flax.

It's not something I would worry about.
