Estrogen-Rich Foods

I found this on a website discussing estrogen supplements for menopausal women.

Foods rich in phytoestrogens, a natural estrogen:
Soy.
Millet.
Barley.
Flax seed.
Lentils.
Kidney beans.
Lima beans.
Rye.
Clover.
Fennel.
Chickpeas (garbanzo beans).

Other foods containing the estrogen compound phytoestrogen include;
Apples.
Alfalfa sprouts.
Celery.
Parsley.
Beets.
Bok choy.
Broccoli.
Cauliflower.
Carrots.
Cucumbers.
Mushrooms.
Brussel sprouts.
Seaweeds.
Squash.
Pumpkin seeds.
Sunflower seeds.
Cherries.
Olives.
Pears.
Plums.
Tomatoes.
Prunes.
Barley.
Oats.
Brown rice.
Wheat germ.
Bulgur.
Brewer’s Yeast.
Black-eye peas.
Mung bean sprouts.
Navy beans.
Red beans.
Split peas.
Spices; cloves, ginger, hops, oregano, red raspberry, sage tea, thyme, turmeric.

Now, I'm not menopausal, but since I'm already dealing with estrogen dominance, it would behoove me to stay away from those foods. From that list I regularly consume cloves, ginger,sage tea, red beans, split peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, parsley and celery. From now on, I'll be more careful with what I eat. At least until after I've done the cleanses.
