Naturally occurring estrogens are plentiful in cereals, legumes, fruits, and vegetables.

The versions of those foods that we eat are not naturally occurring. We've only been eating farm food for about 500 human generations, and living past 30 has become normal only during the last 10 generations. All the subtle effects of modern foods are not known. Just because a patch of weeds produced soybean-looking beans somewhere on Earth for the last million years doesn't mean modern soybeans are natural or safe. They should be studied with a scientist's skepticism and suspicion.

Well of course they are. How else did they get here? Just because something has been modified genetically doesn't mean the entire chemical composition of the food is new and different. Just about every food you eat today has been genetically altered in some way yet we live longer, healthier lives today than at any time in the past. If you had to survive on foods that only occurred naturally, or existed more than 500 human generations ago, you'd get tired of eating the same thing every day if you didn't starve first.

All the subtle effects of modern foods are not known.

And probably never will be as long as the alarmists continue to instill fear in the public based on junk science.

Until you find some legitimate research that proves otherwise, you'll have to accept the fact that they are safe.

They should be studied with a scientist's skepticism and suspicion.

And they have been for a long time now. You can either accept the conclusions of the legitimate research or buy in to the nonsense of the toxic terrorists. The choice is yours.
