10 Foods High In Estrogen
Estrogen High Food #5: Soy Milk
Soy milk is made from soybeans. It contains a high amount of phytoestrogen and can be easily consumed. Soy milk is sometimes an alternative to consuming milk, while it is also a good source of calcium. Soy contains two isoflavones, a class of phytoestrogens, which help with the female sex hormone. One study has shown that consuming soy milk has direct effects in premenopausal symptoms.
It has been speculated that the over-consumption of soy can increase breast cancer risk. Because studies were done with rodents, it has not been confirmed since the metabolism of rodents is different from humans.
