Green tea as adaptogenic, makes sense. I like your evidence based approach to nutrition. I've been a green tea drinker for years but have just started drinking matcha (sourced from Japan due to China's high lead levels in their green tea) and I enjoy it and it's additional benefits.

Drinking matcha tea elevates my estrogen levels. I am 63. Causes me rapidly gain weight. Breast tenderness. It looks like I am the only one having this problem. Please somebody, any opinion on that one?

There was a rat study where it raised SHBG and inhibited Testosterone production in the leydig cells, alongside reducing the weight and size of the testis themselves. This was demonstrated both in vivo and in vitro. Are you familiar with that study?

I have stage 2 breast cancer/lymph nodes, estrogen dominant, my hormones basically feed this cancer, so do you think matcha would help or make it worse, it does not sound like there’s enough research to indicate either

So basically it doesn’t raise or lower testosterone so a null effect.
