Researchers weigh phytoestrogen risks in lab animal feed
In Durham North Carolina scientists and feed makers plan a meeting to discuss the impact of soy derived phytoestrogens on lab rodents. High phytoestrogen levels in common chows may affect growth reproduction hormones and disease studies potentially reshaping biomedical findings.
Scientists warn phytoestrogens in rodent feed may skew experiments
