     I’ve seen this article before, very recently actually. The prognosis is actually worse than the article states.

     @Owl So me reading that cabbage, cauliflower and brocolli are anti-estrogens, is not only true, but demonstrably so.
     Cause I decided to include them in my diet just because of that. And it probably explains why I felt so much better for about a year where I was munching down on cabbage-carrot salads like nothing else.
     Machismo repeated this.

     Not necessarily: the article is talking about extracts, but if you want some testosterone boosters try ginger and especially hit up fish oils.

     I was originally going to try to be funny and go “the prognosis is much worse…. you’re going to die one day” but decided against it because it’s rare I get a serious science discussion, but let me put this in layman’s terms starting with the summation at the end:

     This study demonstrates that cruciferous vegetable extracts act bifunctionally, like an antiestrogen at low concentrations and an estrogen agonist at high concentrations.

     Putting it simply, an antiestrogen is exactly what it says on the tin: it’s a substance (again, layman’s terms, keeping it simple keeps it best) that blocks the effects of estrogen in the human body whereas an estrogen agonist would have the opposite effect to my understanding.
