Thought flax was supposed to downregulate her 2?
The question of soya seems to rage on. I have relatives in the far east who consume ,by our standards large amounts of soya but have a very low breast cancer incidence. HOWEVER how they consume it is totally different from here in the West for example in tempeh and tofu. I wonder if in some way these different processes like fermentation may explain some of the difference?Would be interested in Tanya's view.
Just a few thoughts
