In this lecture, Dr. Zava outlines the pathways of estrogen metabolism and discusses how lifestyle, diet, exercise, stress, exposure to petrochemicals, intake of essential elements (iodine and selenium) and exposure to toxic elements (arsenic and mercury) play a role in directing the metabolism to “good” or “bad” estrogens and consequent decrease or increase risk for estrogen-associated cancers. He will also discuss methods commonly used for detecting estrogen metabolites.
