soy is a synthetic estrogen. your bodies natural estrogen receptors can become confused and not function properly or at all, for any person who consumes large qty's of it. consequently, your hormonal chemistry is thrown off wack. men grow breasts and female breasts get larger...which can actually contribute to a greater risk of breast cancer.
the myth that there are lower of rates of breast cancer for chinese women IN CHINA has nothing to do with their consumption of soy products, it has to do with the fact that chinese women consume absurd almost excessive amounts of leafy green vegetable such a bok choy, mustard greens and water spinach. These green vegetable contain phytochemicals that attack cells during their mutation phase.
while its true that eating soy can improve your heart health, a less dangerous way to achieve optimum heart health is too eat less red meat or no red meat at all and 2) brush your teeth. Arterial plaque can take a homey down.
