Soy contains genistein and daidzein isoflavones; isoflavones have anti-cancer properties. Therefore, study aimed to draw conclusions and find the effect of soy isoflavones consumption.
The results showed that, there was a clear negative relationship between the amount of isoflavones consumed and the occurrence of breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women.
Thus, the results of the study indicate that women with high soy and isoflavone consumption have a lower risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer.
