SHOW INTRODUCTION If you look carefully at products designed to appeal to people who are worried about breast and prostate cancer you will see soy isoflavonoids listed in the ingredients. LOTS of soy isoflavonoids. And if you search soy isoflavonoids on the web you will see that they are promoted for all sorts of health claims from cancer to diabetes. So what about the claims that they are a protective therapy for cancers of the reproductive system? I mean, hey, aren't they estrogens...is that right? Well, today we are joined by nutritionist/journalist Dr. Kaayla Daniel whose book The Whole Soy Story is poking holes in the “soy as health food” balloon. Join us this hour as we explore breast cancer, prostate cancer and soy.
