NDSU researcher studying the use of flaxseed as prevention for lung cancer

Flaxseed is one of the top North Dakota crops and it seems it may just cement its place in history. An NDSU researcher is conducting studies on the dietary effects of flaxseed as a prevention of cancer. Many Native American men consume flaxseed as a part of their diets and 20 Native Americans have been called to participate in the study.
