Soy and Cancer Linked - News
News came out yesterday that soy has been linked to cancer by new research. There have been rumors floating around for ages about this but now it seems there are some definite answers. Read on.
The facts about soy and cancer
It seems that the Cancer Council of New South Wales (Australia) is backing this claim and is issuing official warnings.
Some of the official claims they are making according to the Daily Telegraph (2007) are:
- Soy is bad for cancer patients and those who have survived cancer.
- People who have survived cancer should avoid soy as it can increase the chances of relapse.
- High soy diets can decrese the effectiveness of modern cancer treatments.
- The cancer risk is only for hormone dependent cancers like breast and prostate cancer.
There was also the statement by the Cancer Council that I thought would be of particular interest to my readers:
“There is evidence to suggest that women with existing breast cancer or past breast cancer should be cautious in consuming large quantities of soy foods or phyto-oestrogen supplements.”
(Daily Telegraph, Clair Weaver)
A worrying find
I wonder a little bit whether a soy can only be bad for those who have had or who have cancer. My mind seems to draw the link that if it is bad for them then it will be for others too. But, it seems this point has been addressed and I am wrong.
