My doctor recommends that I avoid meat and dairy to help endometriosis, because meat and dairy contain oestrogens. What should I do?
Just like us, all animals produce natural hormones, these hormones are present in all animal foods (meats, fish, eggs and dairy) and are of no concern to human physiology. We have been exposed to these hormones for millions of years in our diet and our bodies know how to deal with them: they just get digested and assimilated like any other protein. The mainstream recommendation to avoid meats and dairy is misguided and is not based on any reliable scientific evidence. In order to have healthy reproductive systems women must avoid xenoestrogens (synthetic oestrogens), which come from personal care products, contraceptive pill, HRT, many other drugs, many man-made chemicals in the environment, and processed foods; they disrupt our normal hormonal balance and can cause infertility, endometriosis, PMS and other reproductive problems. It is unfortunate that doctors give women no advice on avoiding xenoestrogens, instead they recommend to replace meat with soya, which is full of xenoestrogen
