A large portion of our
country's meat, chicken, and dairy products contain foreign estrogens
that are used by farmers for easy profits and at the expense of our health.
In addition, pesticide residues and many other petrochemical compounds
with estrogenic properties are consumed in the food that is given to these
animals and are subsequently concentrated in the milk and fat of the meat.
These harmful estrogens are then deposited in our fatty tissues and on
estrogen and progesterone receptors where they are known to interfere in the
proper utilization and production of progesterone & estrogen and have been
implicated in promoting other more serious health problems such as fibrocystic
breast disease and breast cancer.
There are, however, "good" estrogens available in our food supply. By
replacing animal proteins with saponin rich plant foods such as soy products we
can introduce phytoestrogens (genistein), which have a higher affinity for
estrogen receptors than "bad" estrogens and have been demonstrated to have
protective influences against Endometrial & Breast Cancer.
