Duncan:

I might have miscontrued that reference. If a person is TAKING

Phytochemicals, then when they get in the gut, THEY are used to make

hormones, right?

Bonnie, the quote I referred to came from your post. What I NEED is a

reference because I've never seen an indication that phytochemicals

are produced in the gut.

I am also somewhat confused on the issue of phytochemicals. Some say

they are NOT hormones, period. Some say they have hormone-like effects

and can fill the hormone receptors that our natural hormones would.

Another says if an herbal product intended as a hormone substitute or

enhancer does produce the same effects as a true hormone, it means there

is a problem with the labelled contents of the product and It DOES

contain actual hormones, not precursors or phytochemicals.

So far I have not resolved this issue to my personal satisfaction, and

remain undecided on which view is best supported by the science.
