Quote:Of the foods, herbs, and spices tested, the most potent ER-binding products were soy milk, licorice, and red clover. Licorice and red clover, but not soy milk, also had high levels of a PR-binding component(s) which had potent progestin antagonist properties based on their ability to block progesterone induction of alkaline phosphatase, an end product of progestin action.and since human body needs progesterone for breast development wuoldnt these herbs make us estrogen dominant because it blocks progesterone receptors ?
In summary, we have shown that many of the foods, and spices commonly consumed by humans as nutrients or phytomedicines contain phytoestrogens and phytoprogestins with both agonistic and antagonistic properties. Generally, most phytoestrogens were found to be estrogen agonists, whereas all phytoprogestins were progestin antagonists, consistent with their tradional use by phytotherapists.
