The importance of estrogens in homeostatic regulation of many cellular and biochemical
events is well illustrated by the pathophysiologic changes that occur with estrogen
deficiency. Many of the major diseases of Western populations are hormone dependent and

recommendations that emphasize an increase in the proportion and amount of fruit and …
