>>>>Researchers have discovered that boron increases estrogen production in
menopausal women. Blood levels of the most active form of estrogen - 17B
estradiol - increased by 50% over pre-study levels. It has been speculated
that the body needs boron to synthesize estrogen, vitamin D and other steroid
hormones. It may also slow the breakdown of these hormones.<<<<<

    It is very important that you know that boron increased estradiol in
women who have had breast cancer or uterine cancer. This is not a good thing
for any woman who takes Hormonal therapy to destroy the estrogen in her
system coz both breast and uterine cancers grow from estrogen. Many women are
taking Femara(Letrozole), Arimidex, Novaldex(tamoxifen).  While it does
improve bone pain and osteoporosis, some women may not be able to take it.
Just do a search  on pubmed, medscape and google to find the articles.
