In the laboratory, soy food consumption has been attributed both to breast cancer risk reduction and increased risk.1 This paper is an analysis of those studies.A search of the World Wide Web and health magazines reveals a confounding litany of claims that soy consumption both reduces and ...
1. Myth: All soy foods raise your risk for breast cancer. There’s no need to banish tofu and edamame from your diet. “For years, soy got a bad rap because of its isoflavones,” says Marleen Meyers, MD, director of the Perlmutter Cancer Center Survivorship Program at NYU Langone Medica...

BACKGROUND: Although isoflavones, such as those found in soy, have been shown to inhibit breast cancer in laboratory studies, associations between consumption of isoflavone-containing foods and breast cancer risk have been inconsistent in epidemiologic studies. We evaluated the relationship between isoflav...
Most of the early studies published on soy and breast cancer were not designed to test the effect of soy; the assessment of soy intake was usually crude and few potential confounders were considered in the analysis. In this review, we focused on studies with relatively complete assessment of ...
The incidence of breast cancer is lower in Asia as compared to Western countries. However, the breast cancer risk among Asian immigrants living in Western countries reaches nearly as high as the Western country, suggesting environmental factors (e.g. diet and lifestyle) may be important for this...
