Jeff,

Your point about the potential adverse effects of resveratrol as a

phytoestrogen is a good one. Especially in terms of stimulation of

breast cancer cells in vitro. Part of the broader discussion of

benefits vs. risk of estrogens, phytoestrogens, and similar compounds

in preventing cardiovascular disease, including soy and similar foods.
