Date: October 21, 2007 08:04PM Hi,
Does anyone know if raw food has any affect on hormones? My Mom (55 years old soon) has really low level of hormones. She takes a supposedly good product for hormones from the health food store ( medication is out of question. She is sensitive type, any side effect would came out immediately.), but the blood test not really good. I remember reading somewhere about raw veggies helping hormone production. I appreciate any information. Thanks Lejla Re: hormones

Date: October 22, 2007 03:03AM I think a raw food diet would help. One reason is that she would be avoiding all processed foods which a lot of them include soy in the form of soybean oil and soy plays havoc with the thyroid. Search www.mercola.com for soy to see what I mean.
Also, any canned foods and plastics contain Bisphenol-a which is a synthetic estrogen. I also read that cruciferous veggies & cabbage can inhibit hormone production, so she might want to minimize the broccoli and cauliflower for awhile and concentrate on other veggies. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
