Phytoestrogens are naturally-occurring estrogen-like ‘chemicals’ estimated to be anywhere between 50 and 20,000 times weaker than natural estrogen. According to research in cases of estrogen excess — which can occur as a result of taking the contraceptive pill, ERT, (HRT) from environmental exposure or simply from inadequate breakdown of natural estrogen ( oestrogen in the UK) — these weak phytoestrogens actually reduce the estrogenic effect by docking onto the oestrogen receptor sites, so blocking the stronger estrogens. Phytoestrogen expert Dr Ritchie of Bute Medical School at the University of St Andrews believes that we should eat a small amount of soya daily, as blood levels of the beneficial compounds start to decline six hours after consuming. Based on Dr Richie’s research, you should aim for around 15mg of phytoestrogens a day, ideally split into two portions at different times of the day. This is easily achieved by having a small portion of tofu (100g serving provides 78mg), or a 100mg glass of soya milk (11mg) and a portion of chickpeas, perhaps as hummous (2mg). Eating rye bread, beansprouts, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds also helps boost your levels. Hope this answers your question. Good health Sandy You are right Alixandrea, it is confusing.

I've read many articles on the subject of estrogen dominance now, and about half say that phytoestrogens are good for you, while to other half say that they should be avoided. Which is it? It's very difficult to know how one should go about setting on the path to wellness if no-one can agree on the correct method to do this. I’m afraid I’m confused.
