much soy they ate in the women who ate more soy the cancer was less likely to come back however this doesn't apply to women alone research shows that soy might play a role in lowering prostate cancer risk outside of Kyoto Japan these villagers were all vegetarians I ate mostly soy okay and and he had Frozen jars of this urine and his boss his supervisor said you know go find something interesting to do with the urine or toss it out so he went to look for hormones inside the urine thinking that he was a hormone he

was an endocrinologist so he was interested in looking at hormones when he ran the urine underneath this thing called a mass spectrom tree okay you see these spikes and he found a spike that didn't belong in the human and it only came from the soybean and it was a spike of gen so he cut out that Spike which we can do in the lab and he tested it on blood vessels that would be feeding cancer and immediately stopped those blood vessels from growing and so this was the Discover that genestin found in plant-based foods like

soybeans could actually be anti-androgenic they could cut off the blood supply feeding cancers but what makes soy that potent soybeans have been shown to contain isoflavones a compound that mimics estrogen in the body this has raised concerns especially among women with hormone receptor positive breast cancer as estrogen can fuel tumor growth however further research has disproved these fears studies suggest that soy isoflavones May bind more weakly to estrogen receptors than the body's natural estrogen most people most women have heard that soy should be avoided because it's dangerous so eating soy can increase your risk for
