At high doses—and no one knows how much is too much—lignans might turn into cancer promoters. Indeed, some animal studies have found that high doses of plant estrogens can cause cancer cells to proliferate. We have no idea where that line—between enough and too much—might be drawn. All we can do is wait for further developments.

Jacob said:Nobody knows how much is too much and for some too much may be a smaller amount than for another person. They say they don't know...they're not stating it as fact. So I don't see why there should be any "evidence" to prove anything. Maybe in the future there will be.
Moderation is just common sense. It could possibly be that what is on the label also makes sense(I don't even know what they say for the lignans..I've never cared).

HMRlignan does require a smaller dose..remember
