PHYTOESTROGENS AND ESTROGEN-DEPENDENT CANCERS: When in doubt, leave it out!!!

[Guest guest]

The controversy over phytoestrogens is still raging 18 years after

first getting breast in 1990 and 14 years after my terminal

diagnosis.

After spending a good part of the day trying to figure everything

out,I found some very good links that gave me convincing evidence or

at least strong opinions against taking certain strong

phytoestrogens. I discovered that there are numerous people who are

now on the estrogen dominance theme.

*I will no longer take soy in any form (no, not even fermented

nattokinase or other fermented soy products),except when the ONLY

available vitamin supplement has soy lecithin in it (a waste product

of soybean production, which is usually loaded with chemicals and

pesticides unless it is listed as pesticide free, which is RARE or

NEVER on supplements). I am not even going to take HealthForce

Nutritionals pure Soy Lecithin.

*I will no longer take flax seeds in any form. See this link:

flax-seed

*I am going to watch my intake of carrots, chickpeas and other strong

phytoestrogens, but realize that we can't avoid all phytoestrogens as

most herbs and plants have them. But I will avoid the strongest ones.

I appreciate everyone's opinions out there but as we all do, we

listen to all the opinions, then we form ours,make our decisions and

go from there.

No whey, no soy, no flax seeds, especially flax seed oil, no soy in

any form, except unavoidable waste-product soy lecithin in a few

supplements.

I am getting very wary of this estrogen dominance thing and time is

marching on. " When in doubt, leave it out. "

Experminentation is now over. Recovery is now where it's at.
