Some cancers of the breast, prostate, uterus and ovaries because they are considered to be hormone-dependent, and we now know with certainty, and especially sex hormones estrogen, may increase the incidence and foster it .
In many plant foods are substances such as "bioflavonoids (quercetin, hesperidin, rutin, etc.). Which have the particularity to bind to estrogen receptors and activate estrogen action.
For this reason these substances are called phytoestrogens. This suggests
that: in the presence of hormone-dependent degenerative diseases or in the case of those at risk is important, among other things, pay close attention to diet because hormonal alteration, such as an increase in estrogen, may promote the formation or an increase tumors.
Phytoestrogens are at least 4000 types and are present in more than 300 plant species many of which are part of our diet and our pharmacopoeia. The plant is
SOJA (a legume), which contains a great deal and unfortunately is used widely in composition and in the industrial preparation of foods of high consumption. If
in a supermarket there we took the trouble to go read the composition of packaged foods found that at least 80% contain SOJA in various forms.
We will be so surprised to see that dry biscuits, cakes of all kinds, ice cream, chocolate and gianduiotti, sauces, creams, pates, ready meals, some sausage and some cheeses contain them galore.
Other important sources of phytoestrogens are
buckwheat, citrus fruit, green tea, black tea, red wine, mushrooms, parsley, sage, carrots. Tomatoes, eggplant, cabbage, broccoli, CHERRIES, papayas, melons, plums, blackberries, blueberries, Apricots, grapes, onions, whole grains, ETC.
Other risk factors are the exogenous hormones, those who take with drugs like birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy like patches, we must not forget the genetic component (familiarity is always evaluated) that obesity increases the risk for all ages (the adipose tissue, although in smaller quantities ovaries produce sex hormones).
But to remain in the field of food are another important risk factor in the flesh of animals, fish and eggs and cheese that come from farms that do not have the certainty that the power has not been used to accelerate the growth hormone and weight gain.
Recent reports lead us to decide to avoid the "bioflavonoids" pregnant for the possibility of an increased risk of developing certain diseases during the first year of life in children whose mothers had taken products and supplements bioflavonoids during pregnancy.
must also be said, however, that bioflavoni have important therapeutic actions in the circulatory system, such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, ocular disorders related to the retina, some hormonal imbalances in certain metabolic disorders and certain cancers
