Plant estrogens: Phytoestrogens are plant-derived xenoestrogens functioning as female sex hormones not generated within the endocrine system but consumed by eating phytoestrogenic plants. They are a diverse group of naturally occurring nonsteroidal plant compounds that, because of their structural similarity with Estradiol have the ability to cause hormonal effects. There are many kinds.
