I really don't think they know yet. This was the closest I have found to a paper supporting the use of the whole seed including the phytoestrogens, but it was done with a her2- cell line (not in live people) and did not look at ALL the phytoestrogens in soy and how they all balance each other out ie, if some are more capable of stimulating the ER than others.

I seem to remember a conference on soy and cancer held in Chicago about a year and a half ago. I think it is held relatively regularly. Following studies they report and encouraging researchers to study her2+ cell lines like BT474 might speed up their finding an answer.

Sorry!
