another very good article on Natural phytoestrogens and such:

I found this part particularly interesting, however the whole article should be read:

Coffee


Coffee is a known phytoestrogen that makes my patients with breast cysts worse. Even decaffeinated coffee makes premenstrual bloating and breast tenderness worse. The caffeine may also keep the liver busy so that it cannot excrete estradiol and other xenoestrogens. One Bringham Young University study showed that 2 cups of coffee per day would increase estradiol by 70 percent.
