I'm gonna assume yer referring to phytoestrogens, which are substances that have estrogenic effects in mammals- not in plants. The meaning of estrogenic, in this context, is that these substances have effects similar to that of the estrogens in the regulation of cholesteral level and post-menopausal bone density. There is no phytoestrogenic effect upon mammal reproduction.
These are almost universally flavinoids, not steroid hormones like, say, any of the estrogens. They are not interchangeable. What you are saying is that because a steak knife can be used as a phillips screwdriver, a phillips screwdriver can be used as a steak knife.

No, flavinoids are primarily found as pigments and as components of a plant's immune system. They are not hormones. They have no signifigant effect on growth rate or pheno. Flavinoid levels are regulated by plant metabolism, not vice versa.

Once again, not hormones. No increase in growth rate. See above.

Not if they know what they're doing. I thought that this myth dissappeared back around 1974

There's none. Lots of scientific evidence to the contrary,though.

Plenty of people voted for W. Did'nt make it a good idea. They did it for the same reason,too...
