Well, i had the same thing happen to me as ya'll. After the second page my eyes kinda glazed over. This is really more up wahaikas alley than mine. I did read the conclussions page. The point of the study was to see if the phytoestrogens in fenugreek. Could be used for the treatment of menapause in females. If I understood it correctly. They were simply saying that fenugreek would not be a good substitute for this purpose. there were concerns over having too much (possible cancer risk) or too little estrogen to be of use. Maybe Wahaika will look it over and give us a better explanation. I think the manner of how they seperated the phytoestrogens, and applied it may play a role in its use. Some herbalist I have come across say to use the whole herb for the best effect. Modern medicine is looking at an extract for use as a proscription drug.
