Rely On Medical Evidence, Not Medical Rumors And Misinformation
Avoid Phytoestrogens (Plant Estrogens)
When it comes to phytoestrogens, the name says it all—"phyto" means plant, and "estrogen" means they contain estrogen. Whether these compounds are found in seeds, oils, the leaves, organic forms, or if you ferment them, the fact remains: you cannot remove the estrogenic properties from the plant.

Bio-identical means similar in chemical or molecular structure, it does not mean “natural.” That means HRTs and BCPs are also bio-identical! This is a new, trendy term that fools women into believing that this is a safe estrogen. Currently, there are no major studies being conducted on bio-identicals; you, ladies, are the lab rats. Look at the thermographic evidence and see the harmful results. Phytoestrogens are weak as compared to synthetic estrogens, but are bio-identical and therefore stimulate estrogen receptors increasing hormonal imbalance, excess estrogen, thus, increasing risk of breast cancer.
Helpful Tip:
To reduce the risk of recurrence, estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer patients should avoid strong phytoestrogens, 'The Big 5,' concentrated estrogenic essential oils, and herbs unless prescribed by a qualified herbalist. Weaker phytoestrogens can be consumed as part of a balanced diet when appropriate.
