As they said: "the beat goes on". I have read tens or hundreds of soy articles relative to cancer. Some concluded "don't take soy products" and some said "soy is good to prevent cancer". Every few months, some wise persons came out to say, it is inconclusive.

I guess we will continue to hear arguments from both extremes. Meanwhile, oriental people and those on veggie diets still eat soy products. Sushi is still consumed by all people, with or without cancer. (with soy sauce).

Thanks for the posting.
