Lignans can mimic the effects of estrogen, so lignans are considered phytoestrogens, though they can also affect the body through non-estrogenic means, according to theLinus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. Like all phytonutrients, lignans are found in fruits and vegetables, especially ka...
They are also less estrogenic than phytoestrogens, compounds produced naturally by many plants. So, even though there have been studies raising concern, the overall risk in humans using parabens in normal doses is low. As the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme puts it: "The availab...
Does Soy Give You Cancer? You may have heard of a link between soy and breast cancer. That concern has beenlargely cleared upin studies over the past decades. Soy isoflavone compounds are considered phytoestrogens; in the past there was concern high concentrations could increase cancer risk, but...
In addition, phytic acid, phenolics, saponins, protease inhibitors, phytoestrogens and lignans have been related to reduced cancer risks.3 When traditional cultures consumed grains, they were always soaked or fermented first, and/or allowed to sprout (or grow), which in theory makes them more ...
Estrogenic foods are plant foods containing phytoestrogens, naturally occurring compounds similar to thehormoneestrogen. These plant chemicals may have estrogenic or estrogen-blocking effects. Naturally occurring estrogenic foods include legumes, fruits and seeds. Studies conducted on the effects of estrogen-...
