I give up, one theory contradicts another.

Now this site says that high fiber grains ie. brown rice help lower
estrogen levls in foods.
Here's how it works: Fat drives estrogen levels up. Any kind of fat will do it: chicken fat, fish fat, beef fat, olive oil, canola oil???you name it. It does not matter if it is animal fat or vegetable oil; the more of it there is in your diet, the more estrogen your body makes. If you cut the amount of fat in your diet, the amount of estrogen will be noticeably reduced within the very first month...
...Second, plant foods also increase the amount of plant roughage (fiber) in your diet, which helps your body to get rid of excess estrogens. Estrogens are normally pulled from the bloodstream by the liver, which sends them through a small tube, called the bile duct, into the intestinal tract. There, fiber soaks them up like a sponge and carries them out with the wastes. The more fiber there is in your diet, the better your natural "estrogen disposal system" works.
Here's some more:
Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant estrogens. Phytoestrogens belong to the class of estrogens known as phenolic estrogens, which are different than steroid estrogens produced by human sex organs. While phytoestrogens are much weaker,
250 to 1,000 times , than the estrogens produced by the body their molecular structure is similar.
I give up I'm going out to set up my weights for tomorrow's ass beating. Oh one more thing,
don't any of you guys start pattin guys on the rump and then say "Sorry it must've been something I ate."
Unless that's your thang
