Study: Moderate Soy Consumption Appears Protective to Women
December 3/Washington/Asian News International (ANI) -- Including soyfoods in a balanced diet will protect against breast cancer, lower cholesterol, and support nutrient adequacy, say experts. A review of data has suggested that there is no increased risk of breast cancer linked to moderate soy consumption.
"Soy appears to be protective and is associated with a lower risk of breast cancer reoccurrence for women who have consumed soy throughout most of their life," said Leena Hilakivi-Clarke, of the Georgetown University.
