For the past several years, we have been under the impression that soy is great for you. I am here to tell you that soy isn’t all that. It has been our enemy from the beginning; soy causes breast cancer.
A study conducted by researchers at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Cornell Medical College found that for many women, adding a small amount of soy to their diets, can cause cancer to grow.
While soy products might be very tasty to many, they contain a very high concentration of isoflavones, which are weak estrogen-like compounds that can boost the growth and development of breast cancers.
The study found changes in the expressions of certain genes largely known to promote cancerous cell growth among the women consuming the soy supplement.
