Adding Confusion To The Soy Breast Cancer Link

Please read this post before you read the current post.

Postmenopausal women, who have relatively high levels of estrogen in their body might get help from eating a diet rich in soy. Soy contains, natural plant estrogens or isoflavones, and this may help protect postmenopausal women from developing breast cancer, as per reports from a new study.

Postmenopausal women who have relatively low levels of estrogen may not derive the same benefit from eating soy compared to women who have relatively high levels of estrogen in the body, but the researchers are saying that, soy may provide vitamins and other nutrients and soy is not harmful for breast cancer.

Charles E. Wood, an instructor of pathology at Wake Forest University who is one of the investigators of this study say that, isoflvones could block the adverse effects of estrogen on the breast tissue and this can lead to a decreased risk of breast cancer.

There is an ongoing debate about the risks and benefits of soy in the scientific community and this study just adds fuel to the current controversy and debate. Wood say that there is a lot of confusing information out there some citing an increased risk of breast cancer with the consumption of soy.

Wood say that most population studies have found that women who consume lots of soy are less likely to develop breast cancer, however, isoflavones from soy, which have a structure similar to estrogen, have been found to stimulate breast cancer cells grown in the laboratory.

My comments: I am now totally confused. Is soy helpful or harmful?
