In my quest for health, I constantly research the foods I'm currently eating to see how they effect endo. Today's subject: yams. This is a tricky topic, like soy. Are the natural hormones good for you or not? I found a lot of articles about wild yam, an herb different from the orange tuber commonly consumed on turkey day, and its hormonal benefits. I also found articles on how its harmful, and one saying there is inconclusive evidence either way. Then I came across this: www.gayot.com/lifestyle/health/features/yams-sweet-potatoes-health-benefits.htmlAccording to this link, yams are only native to Africa. They are highly starchy and different from the strain of yams found in the US, which are mere sweet potatoes, just a lot more sweet and colorful. Nevertheless, they do have their health benefits. But when it comes to hormones, to yam or not to yam? That is the question.

Hiya, I'm going to lock this thread because I believe we already have one or two on yams and potentially being a natural source of oestrogen. Unfortunately I don't know where they are!! Please have a good scour through the rest of the natural treatments thread. Any questions please pm me!
