Has anyone heard or read where retinic acid, a derivative of vit A binds up the estrogen receptor to decrease proliferation events? I thought I just read that somewhere but now can't find that reference. I wonder when they are going to find if soy products and phytoestrogens down regulate or upregulate estrogen?
