参考解析
解析：文章第二段主要向读者交代了进行两项研究的原因。文中提到医生们认为“患者服用这些化合物，但我们需要知道它们是否有任何好处或伤害”，因此是医生的责任促使他们要搞清楚这些东西对人体的作用。选项C是正确的。
文章第四段描述了亚麻籽研究的结果。因此选项E是正确的。
文章第五段讲到Demark-Wahnefrje博士不准备给病人开出亚麻籽处方，并解释了原因。因此选项F是正确的。
文章第六段详细介绍了人参组研究的过程和结果，但是并没有比较人参与亚麻籽对癌症患者效果的不同，因此排除选项D，选项B是正确的。
文章第二段提到Patients are taking these compounds but we need to know if they are doing any good or any harm.因此选项C是最合适的。
文章第四段和第六段对亚麻籽和人参的研究告诉我们，虽然还不确定亚麻籽是否能防癌，但是这两种东西确实是对癌症患者有益的。因此选项F是正确的。
文章第三段提到“We were looking at flaxseed because of its unique nutrient profile"，意思是“我们关注亚麻籽是由于其独特的营养成分”。因此选项A是正确的。
文章第六段第一句提到“明尼苏达州罗切斯特镇梅奥诊所的黛布拉·巴顿和同事们测试了三种不同剂量草药对预期寿命至少六个月的各类癌症患者的效力”，因此选项B是正确的。
文章第四段描述了亚麻籽研究的结果。因此选项E是正确的。
