I am not an expert in this area. But it clear to me that the person who posted this article onto wiki is here to make money for himself. See the 'links to outside sources' toward the bottom and click into the link-- it takes you to a website owned by someone who wants to make money for him/herself.

 * The only working external link : seems worth keeping for now as it does include a large number of references in support of what it says about SDG. Rod57 (talk) 11:43, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

flax seed shells
Apparently there is far more SDG in the flax seed shells or hulls than in the seeds themselves. Rod57 (talk) 11:24, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

clinical studies
We should summarise the clinical studies of SDG, eg in breast cancer patients. Apparently "... cancer studies carried out on flax seed lignans was conducted by Canadian researchers on a group of postmenopausal women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Each day for a month, the women in the test group ate a flax seed muffin containing a pre-determined concentration of SDG. After only one month, the growth of the cancer cells was reduced by 34.2 per cent. Even better, 31 per cent of cancer cells were completely killed, and the expression of the cancer growth receptor Her2 (c-erB2) – which causes tumours to grow more quickly and become more aggressive – decreased by a staggering 71 per cent!
