Quecertin is a BIOflavanoid. SOY is an ISOflavanoid. I don't "do" SOY because of its hormone effecting qualities...

...anyone experience any hormone fluxuations on Quercitin? It is a flavanoid...but not an isoflavanoid.

Trying to find the answer here...and other places.

THIS IS SO over my head

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9751507

but its the best I can find. I think it says that Yes, Quercetin does bind to estrogen receptors in the body - but with a weak affinity.

What does that mean? Anyone? I'd really like to know because soy really messes with my hormones....
