- In response to the article "Lack of significant hormonal
effects and controlled trials of phytoestrogens" by Jean
Ginsburg and Gordana M Prelevic (Lancet 2000, 355: 163-164), Professor
Cesare Sirtori noted the following ((Lancet 2000, 355: 819):
-
- "...at the third international symposium
on the role of soy in preventing and treating chronic disease
disturbing data were presented on the potential mutagenic, carcinogenic
and teratogenic properties of phytoestrogens."
"...to say that phytoestrogens are critical
in raising menopausal age and lowering breast cancer risk in menopausal
women in oriental women is superficial."
"Ginsburg and Prelevic should be credited
for drawing attention to the potential dangers of an unregulated
distribution of poorly studied products",
