Flax and Borage Oil Helps Dry Skin

ABSTRACT: Ingestion of selected nutrients modulates dermal
properties.
In the present study, two groups of women ingested flaxseed or borage
oil for 12 weeks. The control group received a placebo containing
medium-chain fatty acids.

Dose was 2.2 g total fatty acids/d with g-linolenic acid and linoleic
acid as major constituents in the flaxseed oil group; in the borage
oil group linoleic and g-linolenic acid were predominant. In the
flaxseed oil group, the contribution of g-linolenic acid to total
fatty acids in plasma was significantly increased on weeks 6 and 12,
whereas there was an increase in g-linolenic acid in the borage oil
group (P < 0.05). Skin irritation was performed by nicotinate
treatment, and changes in skin reddening and blood flow were
monitored.

Compared to week 0, skin reddening was diminished in both groups;
blood flow was also lowered. Skin hydration was significantly
increased after 12 weeks of treatment compared to week 0, with
flaxseed or borage oil (P < 0.05). Transepidermal water loss was
decreased in both oil groups by about 10 % after six weeks of
supplementation. A further decrease was determined after 12 weeks in
the flaxseed oil group.

Surface evaluation of living skin revealed that roughness and scaling
of the skin were significantly decreased with flaxseed and borage oil
comparing week 0 and week 12 (P < 0.05). Except for hydration, none
of
the parameters was affected in the placebo group. The present data
provide evidence that skin properties can be modulated by an
intervention with dietary lipids.

I think it's niacin related.

I suppose those skin injuries may be .. precancerous .. ?

"Alpha-linolenic acid might delay or prevent metastases in breast
cancer"

Alpha-linolenic acid prevents breast cancer from spreading
TOURS, FRANCE.
Medical doctors at the University Hospital in Tours have discovered
that breast cancer victims who have a high content of alpha- linolenic
acid (9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid) in their breast tissue are less
likely to develop metastases (cancer in distant organs such as the
stomach, intestines, etc.).
The study involved 121 women who had been diagnosed with localised
breast cancer.
The researchers analyzed samples of adipose (fatty) tissue taken close
to the tumor at the time of surgery.
They found that the cancer was more likely to have spread to the lymph
nodes in the armpits in women with a low level of alpha-linolenic acid
in their tissue.
They found no relationship between alpha-linolenic acid content and
tumor size. After an average follow up of 31 months, 21 of the women
developed metastases. The researchers discovered that women who had a
high adipose tissue content of alpha-linolenic acid at the time of
surgery were five times less likely to have developed metastases than
did women with a low content (less than 0.38 per cent).
Original tumor size was also an important factor in predicting risk of
metastasis which is the main cause of death among breast cancer
patients.
Women who had a tumor with a diameter greater than 5 cm had a 4.7
times greater risk of developing metastases than did women with
smaller tumors.
The researchers conclude that dietary supplementation with alpha-
linolenic acid might delay or prevent the development of metastases in
breast cancer patients. They also point out that previous research has
shown that a high intake of dietary fat originating from fish helps
prevent breast cancer in the first place and also improves survival
among breast cancer patients.
NOTE:
Flax oil, pumpkin oil and purslane are good sources of alpha-linolenic
acid.
