This is a very informative thread and I will take note.
Are all sources of Omega 6 or GLA's estrogenic in nature or have those properties etc? Thanks
I doubt it since nearly all nuts and plant oils have a large amount of omega 6 and that would mean many many people are already getting a lot. Among nuts I think it's mainly flax seeds that are loaded with weak phytoestrogens.
I can't imagine any nutrient to have much specific hormonal effect for that matter; if a food has such an effect it's in addition to the nutrients. But many nutrients are necessary to make a normal level of hormones and then once those are available your body selects whatever it needs to make.
