Well they aren't lying about any of that... It's more a matter of mis-representation through omission.
What they aren't telling you is that while flax seed IS slightly superior to soy, it's still very very weak. The only really truly strong phytoestrogens are hops and pm.
Hops doesn't have as much phytoestrogen content as any other phytoestrogenic herb, but what it has is only slightly less powerful than what pm has. And it's also pro-aromatase and an anti-androgen. It's a rather intriguing and unique herb, and one I'd almost consider using if it wasn't also extremely good at putting certain people to sleep, my dad being one of them. And since it has that effect on my dad, chances are very very high that I've inherited that tendency as well.
PM has an anti-androgen and is the absolutely strongest phytoestrogen period. It has huge amounts of the stuff and the stuff it has are among the strongest out there. It does nothing for aromatizing your own natural estrogen from testosterone though.
