and that it has been for that reason that er+ patients have been warned off soy. Even if these are the main phytoestrogens, that does not mean they are the only or the most active phytoestrogens.

That is why my doncerns were whether the antihormonal effects of enterolactone and enterodiole working through the same mechanism of action as the other other phytoestrogens and negating their effect , is it a dose-dependent effect, is it only in rodents or also in humans, does it hold for her2+er+ cancers as well.
