I was doing a search on phytoestrogen before I posted any stupid questions about it. It seems that the more I read the more confused I get. I adopted a vegan diet roughly 5 years ago and depending on what you read, soy is the greatest or the worst thing you can eat. Ditto for flaxseed, beans and nuts. Some say moderation is the key. So what is it? It doesn't seem like the experts really know themselves. I know nothing you do guarantees you won't get breast cancer but it would be nice if there was some consistency in the reporting.
