Broccoli and cruciferous family - pink blue or both?

[lilian]

Hello
I thought I'd read somewhere on these forums that broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may sway pink. However I remember testing my hormones and having too little protective estrogen. To increase it general recommendation is to intake indole 3 carbinol linked to protection and sometimes treatment of female reproductive organ cancers. I3c is found in cruciferous vegetables predominantly.

Question: if cruciferous vegetables increase amount of protective estrogen I would think this would increase fertility as well, why then would broccoli and the rest of these healthy veggies be considered as pink sway food? Or did I misread this somewhere?

Thanks!

Foods don't sway like that. All foods can be a part of either a pink or blue sway. It's the overall nutrient content of your diet as a whole that count. I ate scads of broccoli and cauliflower when I got my girl.

We don't know how it all works. I really urge you to not focus on theories and speculation because worrying about unknown details really undermines sways http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ypothesis.html

Estrogen is one of those big unknowns for swaying. since we all need quite a lot of estrogen in order to get and stay pregnant, it's unlikely to me that estrogen in and of itself is swaying hard in any direction.

Awesome! Thank you so much! For some reason I thought I saw a comment about broccoli somewhere on these forums and I was like I don't want to stop my cruciferous veggies they are so needed ))

PS do you mind taking a look (when time allows) at my question in the private forum?

I saw it, it seemed pretty long so I ended up running out of time yesterday. Sometimes I have short questions in me but have to wait on longer ones.

There are comments on 9 zillion things on here. I really do urge you to not start worrying about the small things because over time we've learned that the small things are largely irrelevant.
