That's just my opinion.
I will attach a study about food and phytoestrogen content. Soy is the highest source of genistein and daidzein.
With your findings, you should be carefull for prostate risk. Because those compounds exert antiestrogenic effect in 2 ways: occupying er receptor, giving weak or no response, and also 3b-diol is inhibited. Now i see how asian women (high soy consumer) have the smallest breast average in the world, and lower cancer risk in young women
ok...I made a wrong hypothesis. i just found that isoflavones from soy low the prostate cancer (PC) risk. But now i remember of some post linking PC to high estrogen activity (but somewhere you can read also the androgen high activity implied in PC...). I will report the links in few hours. I found something also on phytoest. on brain activity... That i don't like. Why are we sooo complicated?
