Foods that contain estrogen ?

[Becky]

Splenda is table sugar in which 3 of the hydroxyl groups (OH groups) have been replaced by chlorine. Because the body does not recognize this molecule as food, it passes out unchanged and unused (hence, no calories).
Splenda hasn't really been around long enough for its safety to be completely studied - but in answer to your question, it is not estrogenic.

Many fruits, vegetables and grains contain some phytoestrogens. Those that have the very largest amounts include soy and flax (the seed and not the oil).

Thanks Becky,
additional question on estrogen...have there been any studies on woman
with very low weight / or/ ideal weight and estrogen levels? I find it intersting that one size AI dose seems to fit all. I realize that studies
demostrated the dose to be effective to control estrogen for all. I was just wondering how that fits in across the board. For instance, a woman
who is under weight /on the other side of the fence / over weight.

My onc. does not do regular follow up estrogen levels...do you think
this is something that should be done?

Thanks,
Big Hug
