Thanks, OP, for starting this thread.
I'm hoping to begin NBE and the relationship between breast cancer and phytoestrogens is one of my main concerns, especially since both my grandmothers died of breast cancer.
I've read about how phytoestrogens *may* have negative effects on post-menopausal women, but postive effects on pre-menopausal women. Again, research appears to be inconclusive. As I'm most interested in PM at the moment, I tried searching Google Scholar for breast cancer and the two phytoestrogens associated with PM but I do not have a science background and find it almost impossible to understand the papers.
I believe that some forum members should be sufficiently equipped to read scholarly journal articles and interpret the findings. I personally prefer to know the risks involved with pytoestrogens and how to minimise them, rather than having blind faith on some urban myths. For me, while it's good to have bigger boobies--since I'm underdeveloped--it's probably not worth risking breast cancer for that! Hoping to hear from the collective wisdom of ladies on this forum, and here's wishing us all good health and fruitful growing!
