@Ella I just googled "Fenugreek + cancer" and several links came up about phytoestrogens in general I believe.
"Care should be taken in the use of phytoestrogen supplements that may contain phytoestrogens at levels far higher than in food. Since phytoestrogens can have estrogen-like effects in humans, use of these supplements for a long time could increase breast cancer risk."

^that is one of the links, I can look again later as I am on my cell phone right now.
I am new to all of this stuff though and have no idea whether it can be harmful or not. I was just curious as to whether anyone else knew.
