Soy Protein Might Exacerbate BC in Women who have the Disease

Although the research only involved 140 women (hardly conclusive IMO), it confirms what I've been told by more than one integrative doctor --  that soy protein isolate (not all soy products) should be avoided because it is overly concentrated.  It's a shame the article pictures tofu, which is not the same as the concentrated isolate being warned about.    Deanna

Good points, cp.  Conventional soy beans are heavily sprayed (at least in the US), and the processes to refine soy products concentrates the pesticide residue each time another product is made.  I've read that soy lecithin (used in many supplements and processed foods) has the worst concentration of pesticide residue.   Looking for organic soy products is wise. Trader Joe's has organic soy milk, tofu, etc.

So I wonder if the pesticide concentration in soy protein isolate could be a factor as much as the soy itself???

I think everyone is going to respond differently, just like our cancers are each unique:

and if anyone wants to find a negative correlation, there are studies for that as well..
