Flaxseed = phytoestrogens = acne = gutted!

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I have been on high protein diets in the past and never noticed that it affected my acne. But I don’t suppose I will ever know specifically what ingredient caused it, sadly.

I do find it interesting that it caused a migraine in someone with hormone imbalance.

I have seen so many studies saying phytoestrogens are beneficial and just as many saying they are not. I guess it depends on your specific hormone profile.

What a minefield it is! :see_no_evil:
