I think this is the answer :

Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against free radicals, which may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

Phytochemicals are chemicals produced by plants through primary or secondary metabolism.

A phytoestrogen is a plant-derived xenoestrogen not generated within the endocrine system, but consumed by eating phytoestrogenic plants.
