    J Clin Endocrinol Metab 89:1779-87. 2004
    ..Hence, dietary flavonoids may be able to influence the bioavailability of endogenous estrogens, and disrupt endocrine balance, by increasing the ratio of active estrogens to inactive estrogen sulfates in human tissues...

    R H Waring
    School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham, UK
    Mol Cell Endocrinol 244:2-9. 2005
