<p>what breast cancer statistics are you referring to? Diagnosis of breast cancer in women?</p>
<p>The link between estrogen receptors and breast cancer is fairly established - things are not as easy as they may seem. As part of a standard routine samples of breast cancer are being testes for estrogen receptors (75% are positive). </p>
<p>Part of the answer to your question could be (and this is pure speculation) that there is a change in estrogen receptors.</p>
<p>There is a free article by the journal of endocrinology here:<br />

<p>Hmm... well, I figured that whatever effects lavender would have on mammary gland development, it probably wouldn't really affect adults. Oh well.</p>Albert Fuchs commented on 'Boys with Boobs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55052584988342007-02-14T20:57:11Z2008-02-14T04:49:32ZAlbert Fuchshttp://www.albertfuchs.com/Barzilai: Your point is well taken, and the only way to know for sure what the effects of lavender oil...<p>Barzilai:<br />
Your point is well taken, and the only way to know for sure what the effects of lavender oil is on adult men or women is to test it. (I mean in a scientific trial, not at home.) All I meant was that all we know currently about lavender oil is that it causes gynecomastia (breast enlargement) in prebubescent boys and has estrogen-like effects on human tissue in the test tube. Estrogen itself also causes gynecomastia in prepubescent boys. So I was just warning not to leap to the conclusion that lavender would cause breast enlargement in women, since for example estrogen doesn't. I hope that clarifies.</p>

<p>Not to nitpick, but "estrogen-like effects" and estrogen is not nearly a tautology.

I'm certainly in no position to dispute any peer-reviewed research you might be referring to... but the article I linked to was far from an isolated shout in the wilderness. My point is that the estrogen link to breast cancer is far from a settled argument in the medical community. One of the most intriguing questions asked by the author of the peice to which I linked was; if estrogen is the culprit behind breast cancer, why is it that breast cancer statistics in women start to go through the roof in the very years when estrogen levels are bottoming out in their systems?</p>Avigayil commented on 'Boys with Boobs'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5505257fb88342007-02-14T16:37:25Z2008-02-14T04:49:29ZAvigayilI am afraid it is not true that there is no link between estrogen and breast cancer.

Many peer reviewed articals state that there is a very clear link between the two. Many years ago they would treat osteoporosis patients with estrogen until many of the women developed breat cancer. ( Osteoporosis occures more frequently in older women because of the depletion of estrogen levels...)<br />

<p>Tracey...
