Thanks for that data Lani. Mom is ER/PR negative, but I have always lost sleep thinking about the potential negative effects of naturally occuring estrogens in food and supplements for all of you that are ER+ and receiving Tamoxifen or other estrogen inhibitors. It would be a shame for women to take those drugs daily, and be shooting themselves in the foot at the same time by taking phytoestrogens in an attempt to improve their health.

It is also comforting to know that Mom's ER- BC won't be aggravated or provoked into jumping ship to an estrogen positive status. Thanks again for all of your hard work at providing the many informative posts every week.

Sincerely,
Tom
