"BE LEAN, HEALTHY, ENERGETIC!" -- Helene Berk, M.Ed., R.D., [yup. that's me!] registered, dietitian suggests estrogen replacement therapy with plants! Pre-lignin fibers in plant foods become lignans -- which exerts a weak hormonal effect. [note: regarding spelling, I have seen it spelled "lignin" -- and also "lignan"].
