This video will discuss isoflavones, which are considered to be among the most estrogenic phytoestrogens, to answer the question of whether isoflavones are truly endocrine disruptors.
Homeostatic regulation is critical for ensuring the functionality of the human body. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interfere with this process.
