If testosterone were the cause of prostate cancer, young men would be dying of prostate cancer. Obviously this is not true. It turns out that synthetic estrogen is fed to cattle and chickens that we eat to make them grow faster and fatter. The manufacturer's of this meat claim that the hormones wash out of the animal's system by the time it gets to our table. However, originally only the urine levels are checked to assess the synthetic estrogen hormone levels.
Synthetic estrogen is fat soluble.
Some of the hormones are stored in the fat and it may take several months for the drugs to get out of the system, if we are lucky. Hormones in the fat are stored in the fat and do not appear in the urine until the fat is lost. There are 70,000 different chemicals in use in the United States with 3,000 chemicals being added each year. Some of these chemicals mimic estrogen. The alkyl phenols are known to emulate estrogen.
