By the way, it turns out that hydroxytamoxifen is an antagonist at estrogen-related-receptor gamma, so if one wants to consume BPA-laden foods and probably be protected from that effect, Nolvadex likely will do it.[/quote]

That’s good info, so would a short cycle detoxify the body (to some degree?) or does it only offer protection from the moment you take it?[/quote]

It would only aid while actually in the system.

Actually as personal opinion I’ve thought for a while the possibility of low-dose ongoing tamoxifen usage (half or less the usual dose: in other words, 10 mg/day per less) is something that deserves serious consideration. I was really thinking from the standpoint of blood lipid profile and general health. Combatting xenoestrogens was an aspect I hadn’t considered.

Lower dose use has been looked at somewhat from the standpoint of breast health in women: http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/95/11/766

As pure guesswork, I would be surprised if say 10 mg every other day was insufficient to completely counter any increase in ERR-gamma activity due to ingested BPA.

Really, the SERMs are quite cool. Estrogens do have some useful properties, but excesses of some activities are problems, and it is not an issue of every tissue and every receptor in the body acting the same way such that one is readily optimal in all regards. It works out very nicely that the SERMs generally provide estrogenic activity where that activity is good, and anti-estrogenic where there can readily tend to be too much activity.

(“Generally,” because for example men may find brain estrogenic activity of Clomid to be an undesired thing, or estrogenic activity of tamoxifen or clomiphene – though not raloxifene – in the uterus is non-optimal for women.)[/quote]

That’s a very interesting read, you might have good point there. Very interested to hear from you if you decide to try this.

Interesting read.

For some reason I thought Soy products would be in the top 7, as it always raises controversy.

I think this stuff is good to be aware of as long as you don’t get bogged down with it. For example, I have a friend that is so paranoid about anything being not organic or bio-dynamic.

The irony is he still craps - ice cream and organic chocolate before bed, often skips meals, and lives off hundreds of those “health” bars you will.

You are of course right about progesterone having benefits for men that we don’t tend to think about, or – so far as steroid users go – get paranoid about due to real problems with progestagenic anabolic steroids that ought not to carry over to maintaining, if not already the case, normal levels of progesterone. Thanks for bringing that out to me a while back: I had fallen into that error myself.[/quote]

You are very welcome, Bill.
I don’t see it as error but maybe, on your part, a tendency of your thinking pattern to be from analysis to synthesis: you focus almost exclusively or for longer periods, on the individual parts and then sees the whole. My thinking pattern has almost exclusively been synthesis to analysis: I see the whole ( the underlying unity of all the parts ) then I focus, or not :), on the individual parts ( I quite like being overwhelmed by seeing the whole picture ).

It is brain like yours that are most likely produce breakthroughs in science and pioneer new discoveries.

Perhaps why I keep nudging you to maybe look into a supplement with natural progesterone ( progestins are detrimental to both male and female organisms ) to counteract the effects of excess oestrogen, and address concerns such as the ones raised in this thread.
Or just aim at The Over 35 Lifter and Powerful Women.
It could be called Pro-12 ( as a complement to MAG-10 and T-11 ).
When I was researching progesterone, I spoke with Ksman and he encouraged me to spread the word about natural progesterone cream. I certainly experience speedy relief from excess oestrogen, it is just a matter of finding the right cream, the right doses and the right time in the endocrine cycle.

I do understand, however, that there may not be enough money in it to make it viable in business.

does this mean coconut milk in cans is out? i know it’s not acidic but i guess it’s still bad?
