EngagementHigh engagement

Abstract in brief

  • The study examines the effects of soy isoflavones, specifically genistein and daidzein, on breast cancer risk in pre- and post-menopausal women, highlighting their similarity to the hormone estrogen.
  • Data was collected following specific guidelines and analyzed using a statistical tool, which focused on the relationship between the amount of soy consumed and breast cancer incidence.
  • The findings indicated a significant inverse correlation between soy isoflavone intake and breast cancer occurrence, suggesting that higher consumption may reduce the risk of developing the disease in these women.

@MelmontC @TheNutrivore The totality of evidence suggests if anything soy is protective against various cancers. Or if not, neutral. May depend on how early you consume it in life. https://t.co/g7h94T74MV

@yoshirin100 医師よ。平気で嘘流すんじゃないわよ。ちゃんと論文読んでるの? 2022年のメタアナリシスでゲニステイン摂取と乳癌リスクは逆相関するって結果が出てるわよ。歯科医師だから仕方ないのかもしれないけど、専門家を名乗るならきちんとしなさいよ。 https://t.co/uwKt20vEAL

@KylieStout1 @molsjames @DrNeenaJha Soy consumption does not increase breast cancer risk, in fact reduces it in certain cases. Do not spread out of date medical thinking, it’s dangerous. https://t.co/E8ORUVCkx1
