Women Confused Over Soy Breast Cancer Link

If you wish to learn about soy protein breast cancer link there is lot of information out there. If you read some of them you understand that soy protein decreases your risk of breast cancer but if you read further you get confused and would start wondering if soy protein would actually increase your risk of breast cancer. It is very important that a clear, consistent message is needed on the benefits or risks of eating soy.

Researchers from the Fox Chase Cancer Center sent out a soy consumption self-assessment questionnaire to 893 women, who were first- and second-degree relatives of cancer patients. Of the 452 respondents, 32 percent were classified as soy consumers. Of these, 45 percent reported a reduction in cancer risk as a reason for their consumption.

Twenty-two of the non-soy eaters (7 percent) said they avoided soy because of a potential association between the phytoestrogens in soy foods and breast cancer.

The researchers concluded, "a subset of women may be consuming soy for misguided reasons or non-proven health benefits. It is important for health professionals to deliver clear messages about the health benefits, if any, of soy."

The JADA study notes three recent studies that have reported an inverse relationship between soy intake and breast cancer risk. However others have suggested that high levels of intake might actually increase breast cancer risk in US women, especially amongst those already considered to be at risk. The only FDA-approved claim relating to soy is the 1999 unqualified health claim linking consumption of soy foods to a reduced risk of coronary heart disease.

To add to confusion the Solae Company recently announced that it has temporarily withdrawn its qualified health claim petition on the soy-cancer risk reduction link. Solae said that it still believes the science supports the claim, but that it wants to make some improvements to its claim in the light of recent decisions that have been handed down.
