    Fatty tissue doesn't produce estrogen. However it does hold on to estrogen that your body produces. If you are thin you won't have as much in store.

    The neat thing was that during pregnancy my twins' placentas produced enough estrogen so that I didn't need to be on any hormones during pregnancy.

    Fatty tissue is one of the main tissues where aromatase is located and production of estrogen occurs after ovarian failure, also including bone, brain, liver, an other tissues. Whiich is one theory as to why obese women are more likely to develop breast cancer.
