Loading our plates with soy foods may confer us with significant protection against cancer.
This study examined if eating a high soy diet is tied to reduced cancer development and mortality risk. Researchers conducted a meticulous meta-analysis on data drawn out from 81 published studies.
Researchers noticed a 10% decline in cancer risk among participants who ate generous amounts of soy foods on a regular basis. In addition, every 25 gram of soy foods consumed per day was found to slash an individual's odds of developing cancer by 4%. "These findings support recommendations to include soy as part of a healthy dietary pattern for the prevention of cancer," the study concluded.
