My read on it is that estrogen levels as they co-relate to Breast Cancer is only a casual relationship, and that both stem from a common cause.

For example, let us suppose that it is true, what they say, that we all have some cancer in us, but our immune system is constantly quelling it. Imagine if an Iodine deficiency let the body tissues to first inflame, then go fibrocystic, and finally on to cancer. At some pathway the human endocrine system would be altered in function, for example inhibition of one or more of the enzymes, if an iodine-containing substance in our bodies is lacking:

cholesterol chain cleaving nzyme P450
17-a hydroxylase
3 b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
delta5 isomerase
C17-20 lyase
17 b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
aromitase
5a-reductase
21 hydroxylase
11b hydroxylase

i.e., if 17 beta hydroxylase is inhibited by lack of Iodine substance in body, then estradiol cannot go to estrone, only to estriol but needs 16 alpha hydroxylase to do so. Inhibition of these enzymes would definitely cause high estrogen levels, and low testosterone levels in women, and guess what you see in cancer patients ? They sure behave as if they have no T in them.

Its the enzymes that control "estrogen" levels; however, "estrogen" is a vague generic term. You need to think in terms of the estradiol level as it is the most estrogenic of them all and look at the enzyme levels, and remember, the sex hormones all derive from cholesterol so don't ignore the cholesterol levels.

And the cancer puts out growth hormones. Look at the influence of those on the various feedback loops. Of course we all cannot do this, we do not have research teams at our disposal. I'm just saying that the relationship between "estrogen" levels in Breast Cancer is likely casual at best, in view of the complexity of our bodies' enzyme systems, and the likelihood that some of these are easily inhibited and the whole systems' function can be readily altered, viz., saw palmetto inhibits 5a reductase. A quick search of inhibitors for the above list of enzymes is readily productive, even on today's over-commercialized internet.
