February 7th, 2010
According to a new study, published online in the January 13 edition of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the risk of lung cancer is notably lower in men who do not smoke, and eat soy every day.
As per the researchers, led by Dr. Taichi Shimazu, of Tokyo’s National Cancer Center, soy is rich in isoflavones that act like hormone estrogen, and boasts anti-cancer qualities in hormone-linked cancers – breast cancer and prostate cancer.
