Flaxseeds lower testosterone?

From versagrain.com, under FLAX SEED SIDE EFFECTS

Hormonal Side Effects

Taking excessive amounts of flax seed (more than 2 tablespoons raw seed, 3 tablespoons ground seed) may have hormonal effects that are harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding. People with hormone-dependent conditions like breast or prostate cancer should also avoid using flax seed oil. It is not recommended for children under 12.


This is probably why there is a warning label on the back of ground flaxseed in California that states chemicals found in product could cause possible reproductive harm.
 
It was my understanding that it limits conversion to DHT rather than reduces T outright. This would affect people on TRT. It wouldn't affect the anabolic side of things but would reduce the androgenic side. Could benefit people with prostate issues. I may be misinformed.
