It is very confusing about the diet and supplements. I am of Asian race and have always had soy products as a part of food. My onc just suggested not to take highly concentrated soy and saw nothing wrong with tofu and soy milk. I consider the useful supplements are: vitamin D, curcumin, mushroom extract, omega 3 and less animal fats, i.e., less red meat. I have been a long resident in middle part of U.S.A. Bone supplement (Boniva) is a part of my med, in addition to Femera. I am a pharmacist in a major hospital. Hope the above info is helpful.
