Soy and Cancer
There have been many discussions about the benefits of Soy products to health. Yes, undoubtedly Soy products have plenty of natural nutrients which are good for health. With unknown reasons, there are very few reports to disclose the negative side on taking Soy products. Let’s study about the health benefit of Soy products from another angle. In 2006, Australia's Prime TV had the health warning to cancer patients and the potential harm of soy products. Watch the below, you may be shocked by the news.

See below the key messages (extracts) from The Cancer Council of New South Wales, Australia [Soy, Phyto-oestrogens and Cancer Prevention]
- Phyto-oestrogens are bioactive substances found in plant foods, with naturally occurring oestrogenic activity. Soy beans and other foods containing soy, such as tofu, tempeh and soy milk, are rich sources of phyto-oestrogens.
- A high consumption of soy foods may lower the risk of breast and prostate cancers, but only a little.
- There is no association between soy foods and the risk of other cancers, including
bowel cancer.
- While they may have a protective effect, there is also some evidence that phytooestrogens might stimulate the growth of existing hormone dependent cancers.
- The Cancer Council does not recommend or support the use of supplements such as soy protein isolates or isoflavone capsules for healthy men and women to prevent cancer.
- The Cancer Council does not recommend or support the use of supplements for breast cancer survivors. 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.
