My friend's ,grandmother was prescribed a lot of hormones during menopause and got breast cancer in the 1970's. So my girlfriend who has a degree in Food Science & Human Nutrition, decided she would take only soy products during menopause. She did a deep dive in Japanese studies using soy during menopause in the 1990's. Glad to see America, has finally wised up! 😁
I ate tofu for a week & started getting breast milk. I stopped right away as breast cancer runs in my family. I think every human is different and we should not trust 100% these studies.
No one in my family had breast cancer & I do not have a gene for breast cancer. After 2 years of eating Edamame, I got ER/PR+ breast cancer! 90% of soy, corn & canola grown in the US is GMO. You can not compare American women eating an American diet, to women in China eating a Chinese diet. Even though women in China are not as affected by soy as American women, you need to take into account that women in China & Japan eat have a high daily intake of iodine which kills cancer. Americans have a very low daily intake of iodine.
So you ate the edamame for two years and then were diagnosed with breast cancer. This does not prove that your cancer was caused by your edamame eating. This is known as correlation, when two things happened close in time to each other. It does not prove that one of those things caused the other. As well, some experts believe that cancer has grown in one's body for 5 years before it can be detected. Did you listen to the podcast? Population studies indicate that soy does not cause breast cancer and is in fact protective.
Dr. Neal Barnard, in his book, Your Body in Balance, recommends that women eat 1/2 cup cooked soybeans daily--not edamame (which is made from juvenile soybeans, so they may not have all the beneficial phytoestrogens that mature soybeans contain). He thinks edamame is fine for snacking, but for his purposes of balancing your hormones, they're not sufficient.
I eat Tempe each day and survived stage 4 breast cancer . However I have to add that I suspect flaxseeds are estrogenic and I’m still having hormonal imbalance and it’s causing fibroid cysts. I have no evidence of disease and it’s 12 years now so so I does not cause cancer !

I can tell you soy definitely affected my hormones in a very big way! About 10 years ago when I was 55 and post menopausal (menopause for me was at 50). I started eating soy on a daily basis and after several weeks, my breasts got swollen and I was having all the same symptoms I used to get a week before my monthly periods. I stopped the soy and those symptoms went away. I do not believe that a food substance that has such a huge impact on my hormones is a good, healthy thing. Perhaps consuming soy products once in a while - every couple of weeks would be fine, but certainly NOT on a daily basis for certain people. Everyone is different, but eater, beware. ;)
I had a mastectomy 3yrs ago & was prescribed an estrogen blocker LETROZOLE for 5 yrs . I got the impression that my cancer Re cause by too much soy product consumption . I drink soy milk everyday & have tofu & endamame so often .
Are these case studies based on fermented soy products? Soybean oil (unfermented) is now used in many food products across the board in the US. Listed either first in ingredients on label or at least the 1st five ingredients. Also, it has been warned that little boys are at risk for hormones being ingested with soy intake. Soy is used in many foods as a stabilizer including chocolate candy, dark, too! Commercially baked desserts also .
Hmmm…..I’ve wondered about this issue for decades, because that’s how long the difference of opinion on soy has existed. Lately I heard a researcher say that fermented soy is fine, but unfermented soy is not. But, if your microbiome is very good, you can handle even the unfermented soy. Since estrogen is such an integral part of so many cancers, I’m not taking any chances.
@@i.ehrenfest349 no, it just goes to show that you do not understand how proper research is conducted, what a double-blind trial is and what peer-reviewed constitutes. We are not talking about "opinions" here, but research backed facts. and the "experts" you talk about are totally self-proclaimed.
I think the problem with soy is if it is gmo or full of pesticides .& Another important factor to take note of is the way soy milk & tofu & other soy products are prepared these days.That is very likely the problem otherwise i believe soy is good especially considering that it has been consumed in the Japanese & Chinese diets for many yrs withiut issue.
Good article. Another benefit of tofu/tempeh is that it is a fermented food product with all the associated benefits to the gut biome and immune system.
Cancer takes a long time to reach exponential growth, the cancer could have started to grow when you were consuming cow's milk (which can be full of animal estrogen from pregnant cow) but cancer was only detected when you switched to soy milk? Drink organic soy milk?
@@robertsmart5600Hi. I was on soya milk 4 years. I dont feel to go back as not sure if link as 4 years on it then cancer.May not be linked.And I didnt know that about cows milk.Estrogen....hmmm Gosh this is so messed up.🤔 I drink skimmed milk currently .Organic or raw. I try not eat butter but organic virgin olive oil. I also having lemons and ginger water every day too. The lab grown meat and fruit veg I heard about recently and doing away with trees ...I feel like overwelmed. So I buy farm shop local and try organic so at least some food going in thats pure .The constant pesticides in the soil depleting nutrients worries me. I wish I had a small holding.But I dont. Is there any supplement that helps the body.I had 18 feet bowel cut out with appendix cancer ten yr before that and so that was why I went to soya..but then 4 yrs later... anyway Thankyou for reply
The problem is not the soy, but the DNA modification. Plants are nature adapted to living beings, then humans modify DNA to increase production and make more money.
I had a hystorectomywhen I was 40 because I had massive fibroids in my uterus and some were submucous which means I was bleeding to death. I was eating a lot of tofu at the time.
You may very well be correct on this point, although unless there are specific scientific studies that we can point to about the dangers of GMO, I don’t think we can tell our audience with great certainty that this is the case.
@@TheMossReport Hi from Belgium. Thanks for all your interesting video. The problem of GMO is perhaps not ....GMO, but they are very resistant to pesticides, and consequently, a lot of GMO are full of it. For example here in Europe, studies show that because of this resistant, famers use far more pesticides on GMO (roundup) Despite we know today Roudup promote cancer. I don't know in Usa. By the way, I have prostate cancer, ( agressive one, gleason 9), but I drink soja milk everyday. My PSA is stable for this present time , without conclude any clue, but what you say is an interesting path. Thanks a lot for your great job.
These two are some of the very very very best examples of the human race.. God bless them with LONG Long Life

I strange, my grandmother didnt take anything for menopause, it just a change of body, but medical insdrustry transformed it in disease.
I ate tofu for a week & started getting breast milk. I stopped right away as breast cancer runs in my family. I think every human is different and we should not trust 100% these studies.
"everyone is different" so true, the only soy products for anyone concerned about bc is organic fermented tempeh occasionally
Trust eat product that is safe, GMO cause soy became danger for consumption.
I love watching you guys for the information, but also seeing you with your dad. Always reminds me of my dad.
Live long.
Thank you so much for this important talk! you are both wonderful - dead and son! it is so calming and enriching to listen to you both.

What is the evidence that iodine kills cancer?

@@mikecain6947
lack of iodine, which is present in most of us westerners, broadly speaking, is a factor in the etiology of breast cancer

I love love love soy products, and it completely stopped. My hot flashes. Ive never believed any of the negative info re. Soy.
I am glad you said this, the lies we have been told! I am buying organic soy now! 🙌

Thank you for this great channel guys! I love ❤the topics you cover and you guys explain things so well. 👍
Thank you thank you thank you for this interview. Absolutely relieved.
I eat my oates in the morning with soymilk
Always a joy to watch your videos.

the science says that any non GMO soy is good for you. Phytoestrogens are VERY different from hormonal animal estrogen
@@cinemamadeinitalyuk ‘the science says’ is never convincing in the field of nutrition, which has more dissension among experts than almost any field.

@@cinemamadeinitalyuk Such arrogance. Does it get you very far with people? Does it benefit your life?
@@i.ehrenfest349 it very much did and still does. Did sheer ignorance got you far?
Isn’t soy consumption in recent studies show that it lowers the risk of prostate cancer?
What was the effect of soy consumption on all cause mortality?

Must go with organic only.
I would be interested in learning more about genistein in particular.
Good article. Another benefit of tofu/tempeh is that it is a fermented food product with all the associated benefits to the gut biome and immune system.
These are association studies. Are there any studies showing direct causation?
So it's good to use organic soy if I am in remission with estrogen related ovarian cancer???
Thank you very much for the information.
What form(s) of soy are considered in these studies?
temphe tofu soy beans ....no isolated soy protein powders ever
Awesome video thank you.
I changed to soya milk and then got cancer.Im.back on milk.May not be related but not taking any chances.

Best is soak your own organic soy and then make your own organic milk.
The problem is not the soy, but the DNA modification. Plants are nature adapted to living beings, then humans modify DNA to increase production and make more money.
I only eat organic soy. Organic, by definition, is non-gmo.
What about the link between eating red meat (it includes pork) and increased risk of cancer
What about the pesticides in soy?
I had a hystorectomywhen I was 40 because I had massive fibroids in my uterus and some were submucous which means I was bleeding to death. I was eating a lot of tofu at the time.
Dose milk thistle promote the growth?
it boost estrogen
so if you are estrogen dominant its a no no
Never heard of it.Milk Thistle is a great Detox agent for liver.

Soy is not the problem. GMO soy is.
