I have been recommended to avoid soy due to my estrogen positive status but dang... Seems to me soy is in everything in some form or another. I am thinking the soy protein is the main offensive form but should I really avoid the soy lechthin & anything cooked in soybean oil etc...  Guess on the positive side, I can just start cooking fresh & simply to avoid processed foods but am really bummed by how limited my food choices are otherwise....Appreciate any words of wisdom, insight or thoughts....

    My onc is not particularly worried about soy and the studies are all over the map about it - some indicated soy should be avoided and other studies show benefits in consuming soy. Until it's more definitive, I'm not going out of my way to avoid it nor am I going out of my way to consume it.  I'm concentrating on exercise and getting to a normal BMI - studies are quite clear about the benefits of those.
