sesame for post-menopausal women

Post-menopausal women who ate as few as 1.7 ounces of ground sesame seeds a day for 5 weeks showed marked improvement in total cholesterol, LDL (the bad cholesterol), and an increase in an estrogen metabolite associated with cancer protection. J Nutr. 2006 May; 136(5):1270-5.

Based on this study, I am assuming that sesame butter would provide the same benefits. If so, you may want to experiment by adding a tablespoon of sesame butter to your oats in the morning, or you can buy an inexpensive coffee grinder and dedicate it to grinding sesame (and/or flax) to add into salad dressings, shakes, or oatmeal.
