Edit 2017: Recently, after learning about new research and working with even more women, I'm finding that
plant - based phytoestrogens may promote ER beta activity, which can lower
estrogenic potency in the body as a whole, thereby decreasing the risk for certain cancers (this is not true of synthetic estrogen, like that in hormonal birth control or estrogen replacement therapy).

estrogenic activity in the body.
