I found this article on the Estrogen-Fat Connection incredibly interesting: http://www.bodaweightloss.com/blog/the-estrogen-fat-connection/
I of course knew that excess estrogen is one reason why women gain weight as they age. But it was when I got to the recommendations as to what to do to avoid excess estrogen that I got blown away. I already knew that synthetic chemical were a culprit in spiking estrogen (a good reason not to use them in your home and to eat organically.)
But she also recommends cutting back on soy intake.
Now I don't eat a lot of soy because it makes me congested (another side effect of soy is mucus production just like dairy)--but it adds to estrogen???
Now that's something I didn't know.
Hmmmm, interesting, must investigate further. As a menopausal woman, I guess it would be OK? Didn't know about the congestion thing though. Darn, I eat a lot of soy :(
