Soy is a rich source of protein with low calories.
You can consume it as soy milk, tofu, edamame(Soybeans), miso or soy powder.
It is a very healthy food, but does soy cause cancer?
The answer is not a straightforward "yes" or "no".
We will take a closer look at soy to figure out if soy is good for cancer or causes it?
So stay tuned to the end.
There's a lot of conflicting information about the relationship of soy and different types of cancers.
And there is a good reason for that confusion.
It is a compound in soy called "isoflavones" that act like estrogen.
Excess consumption of isoflavones has been linked to breast cancer by some research.
At the same time other research indicates that isoflavones can protect from lung cancer.
When you closely look at these limited research work it may not be clear whether soy causes cancer or prevents it.
