Question by CrazyBug082945.hd: “Harm to reproductive system” by an ingredient in Acai Berry?
Is there a scientist or a doctor who could explain what this is and who it affects (if not all people) as well as the risk that it incurs? Thanks so much! :p

Some plants contain compounds called phytoestrogens which have similar structures to the
natural estrogens, so much so that they can fit in the same protein receptors as them. No worries though, if you are a female (which I can see you most certainly are from your avatar), then
the only worry would be a possibility for cancer (inconclusive research). Typically these xenoestrogens (foreign estrogens) will physiologically effeminate males in excessive amounts-
such as phthalates (“fragrance” or “parfum”on the ingredients list) which they put in perfumes, lotions, soaps, etecetera.
Also, keep in mind that tropical sh*t might have chemicals in it that science doesn’t fully
understand or even know about.
