Question by Psych Lapse: Is it true that women with breast cancer issues should not eat soy products?
I was told this by someone with cancer, but I’m not sure its true
Best answer:
Answer by lo_mcg
There is no actual scientific evidence that soya causes, prevents, contributes to or affects the progress of any cancer, including oestrogen positive breast cancer (this is in fact true of any food)
Soya proteins contain isoflavones that can mimic a weak oestrogen effect. It’s not the same as the oestrogen your own body makes though – it is 1,000 times weaker than your own body’s oestrogen, but it’s this that has led to concerns (and rumour) about oestrogen dependent cancer.
There are those in the field who argue that isoflavones may be of help in preventing breast cancer or be beneficial to women who have had breast cancer.
There is current research into whether increasing phyto oestrogens in the diet helps to prevent breast or prostate cancer, and a study in 2002 found that women with the highest levels of soya products in their diets had the lowest breast density – higher breast density being associated with higher breast cancer risk.
Certainly I was never told by any doctor to avoid soya products, and nor were any of the many women I’ve met through breast cancer support networks
Oh, and women with the highest levels of isoflavones in their diet are reported to have significant risk reductions for uterine cancer.

Question by Yaha: Women, does breast cancer ever concern you at all?
I’m NOT trying to like scare you here or anything. But recently, in where I live, a number of women have been victimized by breast cancer unfortunately. And these are all relatively young women in there late 30s and early 40s. Do any of you at all think about breast cancer at all?

Question by EROS7776: Have any of you considered joining the Dr. Susan Love Army of Women for breast cancer research?
Last week the national news carried stories about Dr. Susan Love and the Army of Women project, where they are attempting to get one million women to volunteer for various testing projects to help cure breast cancer. Have any of you read about it or joined to help in this effort? I was thinking about joining and just wanted to know the opinion of other women regarding if they were interested.
Thank you for your replies.

Answer by R. Gaspari
Yes, I am very concerned about this research and I hope the NIH offers an appropriate grant for more screening mammography to be done. And I also wish to advance the effort of Dr. Stavros with respect toward applying first-line ultrasonographic techniques and validating them in absentia of screening mammos as I feel that there is compelling evidence that pathologic lesions can be detected as easily using Dr. Stavros’ guidelines which fall nicely inline with the ACR BIRADS classification.

Question by Love.to.Laugh: Does skim milk give women breast cancer?
Because about two years ago my dad said it was time for regular milk to go along with white bread. Well my Aunt to a seminar at whole foods and some nutritionist said that skim milk gives women breast cancer. I just want to know if he’s corret or not.
Best answer:
Answer by kestrelk8
thats pure nonsense. there’s been no clinical studies proving this at all. skim milk is really good for women because as we age we lose bone density very rapidly and can end up with osteoporosis and other weakened bone conditions/injuries.

Question by dandylyingjane: We have all sorts of charities for cancer but what about Women who are infertile? Why don’t we support them?
Hundred of commercials for breast cancer, uterus cancer, polycystic fibrosis, and even more for birth control. Charities for women who have cancer and heart disease..but where is the support for the women who can’t have kids ever and are permanently infertile? where is the celebrity championing these women? Where is the United support nationally for these women who often hide in shame and are humiliated or embarrassed by their infertility? Why do they not have a day or a ribbon honoring them for the bravery of dealing with IVF. thanks -
Best answer:
Answer by Barbara
because they aren’t dying
if you can’t have children you shouldn’t have children. there are too many people already. we need to reduce population before nature does it for us.
adopt. there are millions of kids without parents.
