Re: No need to avoid soy - new research
It is nice to see this here. It has been interesting to watch these recommendations evolve in the 8 years I have been in oncology. Initially, we told all women with a history of hormone positive cancer to avoid all soy. Gradually, especially in the last year or two, we have the evidence needed to increase those recommendations to include soy in the diet. I still recommend only whole food sources rather than supplement powders or parts of soy in supplement form (i.e. genistein) since we don't really know how individual components behave.
Thanks for posting.
