Question: what are xenoestrogens and strong phytoestrogens?
Answer: Xenoestrogens. Distinct from xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens naturally occur in plant material and are ingested in the diet. Soy phytoestrogens, namely genistein and equol, are widely consumed and due to their structural similarity to estrogen, are known to cause both estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects [130].
