Can Cranberry Juice False Positive Or Negative Urine Test Results?
Question: can either flaxseed 1000mg x 2 & cranberry 350mg x 2 or 3 create positive/negative result on a urine test?
Brief Answer:
Neither of them won't cause false positive/negative urine test...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
1. Cranberry is a diuretic and usually will help remove the drugs from the body. Thus, it won't cause a false urine drug test.
2. Flaxseed is a good source of dietary fiber and omega 3 fatty acids. It won't interfere with the urine test neither.
The only intefering system of flaxseed is with estrogen. Actually, flaxseed is broken down into chemicals called "lignans" which are similar to female hormone Estrogen. Thus, its use is weakened the natural estrogen function.
Consequently, they will be helpful in certain types of breast cancer which require estrogen to thrive.
Hope it answered to your queries!
