Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
To increase breast size ,there is no effective way other than surgery the other options are only of minimal results and some may be of only few hours few cm bigger and return again ,as for estrogen it has many side effects if taken and may increase the risk for breast cancer especially if taken higher doses.
Phytoestrogens are a group of chemicals found in plants that can act like the hormone estrogen
soy phytoestrogens can behave like estrogen and potentially increase breast cancer risk. women should be cautious about eating large amounts of the soy products or soy supplements, because of the possible harmful effects of soy phytoestrogens
Working as estrogen mimics, phytoestrogens may either have the same effects as estrogen or block estrogen's effects. Which effect the phytoestrogen produces can depend on the dose of the phytoestrogen. The phytoestrogen can act like estrogen at low doses but block estrogen at high doses
It has the ability to increase growth of milk ducts in the breast and this increase the risk for breast cancer ,however moderate consumption of foods high in phytoestrogens is unlikely to have any adverse effects and these foods are generally healthful.
Foods that have phytoestrogens include all soy foods made from soy beans: soy milk, commercial soy desserts, tofu curd, soy powder protein, tempeh and "mock" hamburgers and hot dogs made from soybeans.
Other estrogenic foods include alfalfa, apples, beets, carrots, cherries, chickpeas, citrus fruits, black-eyed peas, eggs, cinnamon, celery, dairy foods, eggs, fennel seed, flax seeds, garlic, potatoes, wheat, yams, pomegranates, red beans, sunflower seeds, tomatoes and sage.
