[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 86980, member: 15235"] There is a book call Estrogeneration that people interested in this topic may want to check out. I have not read it but I have heard the author speak and phytoestrogens are a complex topic worthy of concern, especially for those not on TRT. My very limited understanding is that in moderate amounts sweet potatoes ( I thought Yams are the same thing, but perhaps they are not, since I don't eat much of either) are probably not a problem (although Soy probably is, and it also depends on what other foods you are eating). Most importantly, it is a much more complex topic than just measuring estrogen levels since some forms of estrogen can be pro-estrogenic in some ways an anti-estrogenic in others. In general my takeaway is that phytoestrogens in large amounts seem like a high risk, low reward proposition, especially for children. As with most things, it is likely best to experiment and see how you do and not over-consume any one type of food. [/QUOTE]
