Re: peppermint oil       01/18/13 07:18 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Welcome to the board According to NYU Langone Medical Center "At one time it was thought that fennel had estrogen-like effects, making it a phytoestrogen. However, subsequent research has tended to indicate that fennel does not have significant phytoestrogen activity." The Complementary Medicine Database at Cox College say "Anyone with an estrogen-dependent cancer (e.g., some breast cancer patients) should avoid fennel in large quantities until the significance of its estrogen-like activity is clarified. Each peppermint capsule contains only 20 mg of fennel oil. This very small amount of fennel oil is unlikely to have significant, if any, estrogens. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
