Prevent breast cancer by eating soy..... latest news

Soy beans are said to be useful in breast cancer prevention , latest news suggests. According to the published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, say that women whose daily diet includes even small amount of soy, are actually preventing the breast cancer recurrence. Even if 10mg of soy isoflavones is consumed then they are reducing the recurrence of breast cancer in their lifetime to 25%. That means they are lowering the risk of recurrence of breast cancer.

 The higher the soy isoflavone intake, the stronger the protective effect. Women who consumed the most – versus least – isoflavones each day were 36% less likely to have their breast cancer recur over the course of the study.

Soy may protect from breast cancer in a few ways. Isoflavones, being weak estrogens, can bind to estrogen receptors on breast cells, preventing normal estrogens from doing so. In this way, isoflavones may minimize the effect of estrogen on breast-cancer risk.

The new study included an analysis of 9,514 breast cancer survivors in the U.S. and China. Earlier it was predicted that the daily intake of soybeans was harmful if  a woman is Estrogen receptor positive. But the recent study states that , despite of location or country, the soybeans showed good results and reduced the reoccurence of breast cancer.

 Estrogen is a hormone that is found in women which fuels the breast cancer. There may be some confusion in the minds of people, whether the intake of soy is good or bad for the breast cancer ? Now this can be stated in such a manner that many women who have taken soy have reduced the risk of breast cancer upto 25%. Findings say that in the lab, phytoestrogens can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. But in human studies, scientists have not found that diets high in soy increase breast cancer risk. In fact, most have found the reverse.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states after multi year research that women who ate the most soy had lower rates of cancer recurrence and mortality.

Consclusion:
Despite concerns about its phytoestrogen content, eating soy has not been shown to promote breast cancer.
