A member asked:
I am aware fennel mimics estrogen and can affect birth control and worsen fibroids. but, at what dose? and does soy and dandelion have an impact, and in what quantity/dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You'd probably have to eat 10-20 whole fennel plants to have any such effect. Dandelion has no known effect. Don't worry about it.
