Dr. Lee just says that estrogen is produced and stored in fatty
tissue, and
the fatter we are, the more estrogen we produce. The converse seems to
be
true: that the more estrogen we are exposed to from any source, the
more
obese we become. I've heard many times that obese women have more
signs of
overproduction of estrogen, i.e., difficult periods, lots of PMS,
endometriosis, cysts, etc. I think this is not cause and effect as
much as
a general lack of metabolic health, loused-up pancreatic function,
etc.,
which causes all the above. Sorry this is so anecdotal, but I'm no
scientist, just another woman.
