they are both really good for you, flaxseed may not have as many omegas but it is rich in phytoestrogens.
soy porducts are also VERY high in phytoestrogens (plus soy helps fight breast cancer! woot whoot!)
which is probably why those girls who consumed lots of soy while doing N.B.E saw results. the only problem is finding enough (easy) recipes to make it with! lol
as for omegas, just get a supplememnt that contains all three, even if flax doesn't contain all three , its still very good for your digestive sytem and you health in general.
just a note. phytoestrgens, ALL of them, can work FOR or AGAINST your boobies. depending on your body they can block estrogen receptors or work with them.
i have read this on about thirty different sites, so i'm pretty sure its true, so if you aren't growing, that could be why. it could be time to amp up on something else, but don't jump to that conclusion until you've tried them for at least a half year or more ongoing.
hope this helps!
blessed be!

Kekie,
Waxingmoon made a post not too long ago that is very helpful regarding the ratios of Omegs 3,6 and 9's, entitled "Evening Primrose and Other essential Fatty Acids"
Here's the link:

Also, I've found it difficult to find a product that contains a good balance of all three. I am currently taking borage, evening primrose and flax oils, and also trying to consume DHA rich foods like Salmon once or twice a week.
Peace,

I ve found a good article containing info on flax seeds and Omega-3 in general and thought I should post it here:
http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=81
I found this particularly interesting:
"Flaxseeds are rich in alpha linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fat that is a precursor to the form of omega-3 found in fish oils called eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA. Since the fats are found in their isolated form in flaxseed oil, it is a more concentrated source of ALA than the seeds themselves (although it doesn't have the other nutrients that the seeds do). ALA, in addition to providing several beneficial effects of its own, can be converted in the body to EPA, thus providing EPA's beneficial effects. For this conversion to readily take place, however, depends on the presence and activity of an enzyme called delta-6-destaurase, which, in some individuals, is less available or less active than in others. In addition, delta-6-desaturase function is inhibited in diabetes and by the consumption of saturated fat and alcohol. For these reasons, higher amounts of ALA-rich flaxseeds or its oil must be consumed to provide the same benefits as the omega-3 fats found in the oil of cold-water fish.
Yet research indicates that for those who do not eat fish or wish to take fish oil supplements, flaxseed oil does provide a good alternative."
The article also says why we should combine both Omega-3 and -6 and what is the connection between the two

Hello Kekie
If you go to Green Bush Herb site and do a little research with word search feature. You'll find plenty of good info concerning your question.
Evening primrose and flax oils, and also trying to consume DHA rich foods all are going to healp your breasts.

What about this one?
http://organicpharmacy.org/products/Flax|Borage.Oil/SKU:FB1-pe
It contains 500 mg of Flax Seed Oil, 100 mg of borage oil and the following:
Omega-3 285 mg
Omega-6 117 mg
Omega-9 106 mg
Do you think these are good proportions?
