Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Here is a list of questions we at Wellfoods Ltd are asked quite often. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

How much do I need to eat?

A slice of cake about 100grams per day (a third of a cake) is usually adequate to deliver sufficient natural phyto-oestrogens to relieve the menopause symptoms. From international research and our own studies, the quantity may vary for each individual. You may be happy eating a little less than 100g. This is OK. A 100gram slice looks generous, but you don’t have to eat it all at once. Many Ladies eat the Cake for breakfast. Try it for lunch with a piece of fruit or as an evening snack.


Please advise as to the sugar and fat content.

This was one of the major considerations during our research, as we are aware that many Ladies need to watch our diets. There are no added fats or sugars within the cake, other than those naturally present in the ingredients.


Genetic Modification. What about the Soya in the Cake?

Soya and Soya milk do feature on the ingredient list. Soya is one of the key phyto-oestrogen rich ingredients in the Linda Kearns Cake. Wellfoods is opposed to Genetic Modification. We have taken great care on this issue. Every batch of Soya is traceable back to the original source, ensuring that it is GMO free. Our GM Policy is published here


Please explain the wheat free varieties. Can I eat them ?

So many Ladies asked us for wheat free varieties of Linda’s Cake. For the Wheat free Ladies this is really good news. For omnivores, the no-wheat makes no difference! Enjoy all the additional varieties. The original raisin variety is just that, and it does contain wheat.


So what does the Linda Kearns Cake contain?

ALL cakes contain nuts (Almonds) All cakes contain Sesame seeds. ONLY the Original Raisin Variety contains wheat. Other varieties are WHEAT FREE. All cakes contain Soya. Suitable for Vegetarians & Vegans. For Ingredient lists and Nutritional tables see 'Linda Kearns Cakes'


Tell me the best way to store the Cake?

The Cake now has a shelf life of 21 days in an ambient temperature, without using the normal cake preservatives such as Potassium Sorbate or Propionate. However it is still important to store the cake correctly. Upon receipt of a months supply, depending on space, keep up to 4 of the Cakes in the refrigerator, and place the others in the freezer. Enjoy the cakes from the fridge at your leisure for the next 12 days, and then move one cake at a time from the freezer to thaw overnight in the fridge. Some ladies slice the cakes before freezing to take with them to the Office etc. Ladies enjoy their cake with low fat custard or crème fraiche.


Can I have more than 1 months supply on one order?

Often groups of Ladies, sisters, work colleagues etc., join together and purchase bulk supplies, saving money. We can arrange for standing orders. Of course, you can choose your favourite varieties.


How long before I notice the benefits?

From our own research conducted in 1999, 84% of women said that they felt better after eating the cake. It took as little as 2 days to more than 14 days to notice the improvements. Generally, it’s about 10-12 days. Other people in your immediate circle will probably notice before you do. Please write and let us know of your experiences.


Do Ladies of all ages eat the cake?

Ladies from a 16-year-old that had PMT to a wonderful Lady of 88 years, can and do enjoy the Linda Kearns Cake. Other members of the family can eat the cake. Many eat the Cake because they like it. It is a tasty, wholesome cake, and a perfect excuse to put your feet up on the sofa and eat cake
