A member asked:

Is almond milk photo estrogen or is it estrogentic? i've fibroids & i suspect my estrogen to be high .may kindly explain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Phytoestrogen: This is the name for Estrogens derived from plants. The dietary amounts are negligible. Although fibroids have estrogen receptors, they don't necessary grow when exposed to these hormones.
