Hey gilly!
Thanks so much for your reply. You're right, there is a clear bias in the article and the Chinese herb isn't even named (I assumed they were talking about Dong Quai, but still), but the main thing that was concerning me was if the person still has a legitimate point. That site was the last thing out of a gazillion where I had read about the "dangers" of phytoestrogens, so I was all over the place! This was another site that freaked me out when I was looking up info on EPO:

I think that site ^^ may be good for women who are going through menopause and doing NBE, because it contains a lot of information, both anecdotal and scientific about estrogenic foods during/right before menopause. But it still freaked me out! I guess it was just an overload of estrogen dominance articles.
Thanks for calming me down! haha
Anyone have any feedback on my hops question? Can I call on the powers of Isabelle or Wahaika?
Oh and I ordered some EPO pills - if anyone has any info or advice on that, I'd love to hear it! One of my friends who was taking it for PMS symptoms got boobier (that should be a word) over time... she wasn't even taking any NBE herbs! So it seems as though it really could work. *fingers crossed*
