It's all related quite honestly, I mean, if you tie up the liver or stress it out with an over-abundance of toxins it won't process estrogen correctly. When that happens estrogens gets re-absorbed and has the potential to produce the unhealthy estrogen metabolites known as 16-a OH estrone and 2 OH estrone (e.g. cancer causing estrogen metabolites). And if that's not bad enough, the excess estrogen in our liver (which is all ER-alpha) impairs the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormone. A blood protein called albumin carries hormones in the blood, RC is said to stabilize the blood, also an antioxidant.
I think there's enough evidence that phyto's affect sperm count. Research studies can be subjective, especially if funded by special interest. Isoflavones include the metabolites genistien and daidzein as seen with PM and other phyto's. Genistien in some studies proliferates breast cancer cells. Diadzien works like an androgen. Again, ER-beta types, but it's about balance too, ER-b is protective against breast cancer proliferation, so is anti-aromatase meds. Green tea, turmeric, progesterone etc. are strong counter-measures to protect against cancer. And despite conflicting evidence phyto's are protective against cancers.
But, RC has its problems too, fertility being one, not everybody gets results from RC, or nbe, side effects are indicated with RC. If you have hypothyroidism I'd stay away from soy in general. Lower dosages are effective, taking higher amounts of supplements impair the liver, imo it ends up being wasted.
