Search for PM on scholar.google.com
That is google's new search engine that returns ONLY research studies searchable on the web. It weeds out all the crap, sales websites that purport to be "objective" in reviewing PM but are really just a sales pitch for their own product.
You will find a HUGE number of studies that show that PM has a protective effect as far as several kinds of breast cancer goes. In clinical research, things like PM are tested on specific lines of breast cancer cells, usually known to be 'estrogen sensitive.' That is not to say that estrogen "causes" breast cancer. The research results are also not a guarantee that you will not get breast CA if you take PM.
You will also find quite a few studies that show that PM has 'estrogenic' effects, but is NOT treated as equivalent to endogenous estrogen or even pharmaceutical estrogen in the body. The research to date shows: PM has a VERY low LD-50 (is not toxic in and of itself), has very low mutagenic effects, helps some women with hormone imbalances (particularly PCOS), aids bone mineral density, promotes healthy skin and hair, promotes cardiovascular health, and has a protective effect on breast CA.
Read the research yourself so you can make truly informed decisions. Don't rely on crap, sales oriented websites for your information, they are designed to mislead and obfuscate. Dare to rebel--become an enlightened consumer (that is the scariest idea to big pharma and big business in general!)
