have you seen the latest research about grapefruit? the amount of phytoestrogens in grapefruit is sky-high, in addition to other hormone-affecting-substances. they've found that post-menopausal women consuming grapefruit on a regular (meaning 1/2 a grapefruit, or a serving of grapefruit juice daily) basis have a 40% increase in the chance they'll develop breast cancer.<br><br>
which sucks, 'cause i love it. but, i've seriously cut back.

Thank goodness something I detest is not considered great for me. You can have my share of grapefruit, but I don't want anything to happen to you, so I'll just put it on my compost pile here...

Hmmm...I have read the exact opposite: that phytoestrogens in fact appear to protect women from cancer. I need to do some more research on this.<br><br>
Soy products are also VERY high in phytoestrogens.

i went to the farmer's market and bough a ton of fruits and veggies so i'm well stocked for a few days. and i rachel ray-ed it by washing and cutting them up now. woot.

 

[witchypoo]

i was mistaken. it's the glucarates in grapefruit; they inhibit function of a molecule which helps process estrogen.<br><br><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6900482.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6900482.stm</a>
