A while back I read that there's something in avocados that blocks the absorption of estrogen. My reaction at the time was to eliminate them from my diet, but I would like to know if perhaps I'm worrying too much about this effect. Does anyone with a science background have a better understanding of this that could perhaps explain to me whether I'm making much ado about nothing? I miss guacamole
P.S. I know that avocados are fairly high in potassium. I don't plan to eat them every day. Too expensive in the midwest for that anyway.
