Hi

Since my diagnosis in December I have been following a much healthier diet but have discovered that some of the salads I've been consuming have contained edamame beans - young soya beans. I have read that these, along with other seeds and nuts contain phytoestrogens that I should perhaps be avoiding. Can any nutritionists among you shed more light on this for me please because I seem to be reading cotradictory information. 

It wouldn't be a big loss taste wise to give these up but, as a vegetarian I was using these, nuts and seeds as a source of omega three fatty acids. Also wondering if i should also avoid peanut butter as peanuts also contain phytoestrogens.

Thanks for any advice and info.
