Eating soy might help prevent breast cancer
An overwhelming body of published peer-reviewed scientific research shows soy has numerous health benefits.
12/10/05 Scientific studies suggest eating soy may help prevent breast cancer, a disease that the American Cancer Society estimates will be diagnosed in 211,000 women this year. In fact, more than 60 published peer- reviewed studies support the relationship between eating foods with soy protein and a reduced risk of many types of cancer.
An overwhelming body of published peer-reviewed scientific research shows soy has numerous health benefits. In particular, reporters are encouraged to review Yan, L. and E. L. Spitznagel (2004) -- "A meta-analysis of soy foods and risk of breast cancer in women." Int J Cancer Prev 1(4): 281-293. The study provides more detail on the benefits of soy and its ability to help in the prevention of breast cancer. This analysis of 14 published studies established that the consumption of soy foods is associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in women.
Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, The Solae Company is a global leader in the research and application of soy protein. For more than 30 years, the company has invested in fundamental research to understand the health benefits of soy protein in order to provide better ingredients for better living. Researchers at more than 180 leading universities and research institutions have used soy protein products produced by The Solae Company in hundreds of completed and ongoing soy studies. The company was formed through an alliance between DuPont and Bunge Limited.
