I just learned that green tea extract actually binds and flushes estrogen.
Depends what you read regarding green tea.....i take it for weight loss anyway for which the benefits are more clear cut. It hasnt done me any harm though to date.....
Here is where I read it.
Green tea article
I dont think there is a definitive answer on it I find articles indicating opposing viewpoints, one issue though is the study you have linked relates to mainly menopausal women where as this study (table 3 in particular) suggests the opposite amongst women of child bearing age - http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/95/2/488.full
There is also a lot of further info relating to green tea - see here: http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=21602&pid=194560#pid194560
One of the issues with non-pharma is that there is no definitive right or wrong and research can often contradict previous research.......or just need very careful interpretation. As there are definitely health benefits to green tea am sticking to it for now, it doesnt seem to be harming my growth in anyway at the moment - and it definitely seems to be helping burn fat given that my body has decided any new fat is only going on my breasts, hips and thighs and my once massive beer gut is slowly but surely shrinking.

So I just got my estrogen blood tests back today.. later than I expected. My new levels are a 134 which is down 54 points. I'm being very cautious or so I thought. I have been doing White Peony 2 droppers 3x a day. I was doing the green tea extract pills which I stopped. That being said, I did ask my doctor to go on a low dose E patch and T blocker. We'll see what he says.
Today is a sad day, but I will figure it out and fix it! I'm still above normal but not by much!
Luv,
Ali
