You are correct...
We really don't know the full complexities of what is or is not harmful to us when it comes to the vast majority of the things we use.
I think as more research is done, however, they're going to find that the "all estrogens are not equal" extends down further to "all phytoestrogens aren't equal either!"
I have a suspicion that we're going to find the estrols and isoflavones are among the safest and that it's the xenoestrogens that we REALLY need to watch out for.
If more research is even done... Pfizer's done a VERY good job of scaring people off of estrogen research with their bogus claims that all estrogens ARE equal, so Premarin while bad isn't really all that bad... Yeah... Right.
