What you need to know about Soy and Cancer. If your Cancer, your Tumor is Estrogen - Hormone Fed than you need to stop using soy products. I always thought soy was good for me, I stopped drinking Cow's Milk and went for soy to be healthier and now since a family member has gotten a tumor in her breast that is cancerous and is hormonally fed, I have learned that SOY is now to be avoided for it feeds this particular type of cancer.

DON'T GO OVERBOARD WITH SOY
A Cautionary Tale
by John R. Lee, M.D.
Soybeans also contain potentially healthful compounds called phytoestrogens (also known as isoflavones), such as genestein, diadzein and others that are weak-acting estrogens.
Phytoestrogens occupy estrogen receptors and thereby reduce the effect of one's potentially more potent endogenous (made in the body) estrogens. This may well be the reason for the lower incidence of breast and prostate cancer in Japan. However, seen in context with the whole diet, large doses of these phytoestrogens are not as healthy as smaller doses combined with all the other factors found in the traditional Japanese diet.
Soybeans contain enzyme inhibitors that can block protein absorption as well as uptake of the enzyme trypsin, leading to thyroid deficiency and retarded growth. They also contain hemagglutinin that decreases the ability of red blood cells to properly absorb oxygen and distribute it throughout the body. These can be removed from soy products, but the usual attempts to do so (by pureeing the beans, soaking in an alkaline solution, and then cooking them in a pressure cooker) will, at the same time, make the beans’ proteins difficult to digest.
