HI Normabev
The phyto oestrogen question is discussed quite a lot under the tamoxifen thread and also under the alternative therapy threads but believe me there is so much conflicting information out there you may feel a bit lost.
I got myself in a right tizzy over soya and dairy so have tried to cut it out as much as possible and also processed foods and fats. Good luck with your search but the general rule of thumb seems to be everything in moderation.
