Some people, especially women dealing with breast cancer, have concerns about eating soy.
-
13
The issue is whether compounds in soy have estrogenic effects that could encourage tumor growth.
-
14
I put the question to Joel Evans, MD, founder and director of the Center for Womens Health, where he practices integrative obstetrics and gynecology.
-
15
Soy is fine in moderation, except for women on tamoxifen, says Evans.
-
16
Im not talking about something small like soy sauce, but major ingredients in a dish.
-
17
The reason is, soy will knock the tamoxifen drug off the tamoxifen receptor in the body.
-
18
Its not that its harming you directly, but its taking away the benefit of the tamoxifen.
-
19
Youre on it for a reason; if you eat soy, youll lose that benefit.
-
20
Evans says that for everyone else, fermented soy is preferable, such as miso and tempeh.
-
21
He suggests limiting soy to three to five 3-ounce servings per week.
