According
to the study by The Centre of Research and Promotion of Women's Health,
School of Public Health and Primary Care, there is a statistically
significant inverse association between soy isoflavone and soy
protein intake with breast cancer risk. The multivariate ORs (95% CIs)
of breast cancer risk for the highest quartile compared with the lowest
quartile were 0.54 (0.34-0.84) for soy isoflavone and 0.62 (0.40-0.96) for soy protein, respectively. A preventive effect of soy
food was found for all subtypes of ER and/or PR status of breast
cancer. The inverse association was more evident among premenopausal
women. This study suggests that consumption of soy food, soy isoflavone, is inversely associated with the risk of breast cancer. The protective effects of soy did not seem to differ by ER and PR breast cancer status. posted in PubMed,
