Soy OK To Eat After Breast Cancer

For a long time, breast cancer survivors avoided soy after recovering for fear of it increasing the chance of the cancer coming back.

Fortunately, new research suggest that soy does no such thing.

Said Dr. Xiao Ou Shu, a professor of epidemiology:

“We did not see any evidence that soy intake after breast cancer increases the risk of recurrence or deaths [from breast cancer]. Our study indicated that soy food intake among breast cancer survivors is safe and may reduce the risk of recurrence.”

The findings are preliminary, and will not be considered fully legit until they are reviewed by other experts in the field.

But still, good news for breast cancer survivors!
