Soy Products and Breast Cancer: Separating Fact from Fiction


Question
I understand that soy products produce estrogen; and since my episode of breast cancer in 2001 was related to extrogen, am I correct in believing that I should not eat soy products??

Answer
Now you have put me on insecure ice! This is not really known. Some think so, others not. Some believe that the low prostate cancer rate in Chinese & Japanese men is due to these soy products. But nobody KNOWS! Many people have different (and sometimes STRONG) opinions on this but again noone knows. Nor do I unfortunately! So I can unfortunately not tell you.
Well thank you for your compliments madame, but I do not think I deserve a 5 in knowledge - which implies ignorance - when NOBODY knows! At least I'm aware of that fact which is more than you can say about some of the opinion driven propagandists on both sides! Correct?
