Limit intake: Long periods of estrogent use (as in hormone replacement) have been proven to increase the risk for breast cancer. This is especially true if taken for longer than 5 years. If you are looking for breast enlargement, then you should consult with your doctor. I recommend considering augmentation, which is performed by a plastic surgeon.

Excessive intake of certain photo Estrogens found in plant products are less clear and there effects have not been fully evaluated and understood, .
