Hormonal Products to Avoid

Avoid the following hormonal products in order to balance and build healthy hormones:

• Birth control pills. These cause estrogen dominance.

• Cimetidine (Tagamet). Cimetide interferes with hormone metabolism and increases estrogen.

• DES

• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

• Premarin

• PremPro

• Progesterone creams made with paraben preservatives

Xenoestrogens: Avoid Them!

For more on xenoestrogens and excellent information about environmental factors that affect breast cancer, see The Breast Cancer Fund’s 2010 State of the Evidence report, available in full at www.breastcancerfund.org/assets/pdfs/publications/state-of-the-evidence-2010.pdf.

• Xenoestrogen-Rich Animal Foods

• Commercial dairy products, including milk, butter, cheese, and ice cream. Avoid bovine growth hormone and the common chemical agents used on conventional farms by going organic and free-range.

• Commercially raised, nonorganic meats such as beef, chicken, and pork

• Farmed fish and shellfish

• Xenoestrogen-Rich Home Products

• Unfiltered tap water. Get a filter or become a filter.

• Laundry detergent. According to some researchers online, avoid even the Seventh Generation and Eco brands.‡

• Fabric softeners. These are estrogenic and toxic.
