I know this veres off what you are working on but do you think there's a definite answer to "do phytoestrogens REPLACE xenoestrogens or do phytos replace but ADD to the overall estrogen load?"
Correction, sexy blond .
Good question, I think the latter quite actually. Say (or use) this is an example, a women with a normal cycle (lol, what's that you say). She takes PM in the first half, now does her estradiol dramatically fall off after (say) day 14-16?........I think not. Calculations of blood E2 levels are still present a week if not longer. Add to this, the daily hidden barrage of xeno's (I'll bet that amount undetermined but still revelant).
Now, doe this women need to add more E in luteal?, I think not (again lol)..........and in the present study above it validates that breast tissue expression of E2 is still quite high when progesterone is added.
