Soy and Cancer - Does it Actually Fight Against Breast Cancer

Are there any soy and cancer dangers? We may have thought about this question before. We all know how important eating protein is to our diet and health. Many people are turning to this type of protein. Is it safe for us? In this article, I will be sharing some very important information on this protein option.

Studies have been found to show that all soy products have been repeatedly shown to reduce the risk of women developing breast cancer. Although, there are contradicting view points on this, if in fact risks are reduced.

These type of products are full of essential nutrients that are beneficial for our bodies. They are high in protein and essential fatty acids. Vitamin and mineral content is also high. It also is the only food to contain isoflavones.

The thing with isoflavones is that they are very similar to the female sexual hormone, estrogen. This is called phytoestrogen. If the level of these phytoestrogen is high they can cause breast cancer. These will prevent them from functioning with the breast cells. Therefore, cancer risks are lower. So, make sure you eat foods such like tofu and also miso soup. Also, a good idea is to start eating such foods right after developing puberty. The estrogen levels are higher at this time.

Although, women who already have cancer, will not be able to benefit from these products and may even react negatively to them. You should consume these foods in moderation.

Studies have been shown recently that any dangers were not conclusive. Also, it was revealed these food items could actually reduce the chance of women to have a recurrence of cancer. In 2,000 women studied, and consumption of these foods, reduced 60% risk of recurrences. Women who only had 10 grams of this protein per day, had reduced risk and mortality rate by 30%.

The studies show there isn't much of a risk associated with consuming soy products and from women developing breast cancer and also experiencing any form of cancer from coming back.

The majority of health care professionals say that eating a very healthy diet consisting of these products is very important. Equally important is to make sure you include fruits and vegetables, along with whole grains. You want to make sure you look for products which use non-genetically modified crops in their production. This is because the public is very much concerned with modified foods.
