Does anyone have good information about plant sterols and breast cancer that is Positive for estrogen?  I would like to know more and so much of the data about SOY products is confusing.

Study the liver and estrogen dominence syndrome to get a good overall abstract of the relationship between this organ and estrogen metabolites.  It's heavy reading, but so informative when you get the "whole picture".  Bottom line, plant sterols from organic sources are a must for hormonal health.  Zeno-estrogens from chemicals in plastics and preservatives in health and beauty care are strong estrogen mimickers and will create imbalance.  These could be one of the muti-faceted reasons there are so many reproductive cancers in this time.  Happy Reading!
