I was reading the entry/paper on phytoestrogen rich foods in Sfem's blog, and I have a question.
Several posts here talk about different herbs competing for the estrogen receptors, and that since PM is the strongest it has been suggested that should be used on its own or with a testosterone blocker.
So, what's the deal? Will an overabundance of phyto-rich foods also compete? I have been eating a super phyto breakfast for a while before even reading the paper (oatmeal with a quarter cup of ground walnuts, a quarter cup of ground flax, almond milk, and a teaspoon of maca powder. Sweetened with brown rice syrup.)
Would it help, hurt, or not really make a difference one way or another to continue this trend?
Does the addition of pyto rich foods really matter? And does the avoidance of androgen boosters like pineapple make a difference?
