Researchers at Georgia Tech, Emory University and the Karmanos Cancer Institute found soy glucosylceramide (soy GlcCer) reduced the formation and growth of tumor cells in the gastrointestinal tracts of mice. " Soy is known to have a number of health benefits, including the suppression of cancer. Based on our results, some of this benefit may be due to a group of molecules known as sphingolipids, " Georgia Tech researcher Al Merrill said in a prepared statement. Soy GlcCer is one of many kinds of sphingolipids found in animals and plants. In previous research, Merrill and his colleagues found that milk sphingolipids suppress tumor formation. This new study is the first to show that plant sphingolipids also inhibit cancer. Along with soybeans, other foods rich in sphingolipids include cheese, eggs and wheat flour. In this new study, the researchers found massive amounts of soy GlcCer weren't required to achieve an anticancer effect. The amounts of soy GlcCer effective in suppressing cancer in the mice were similar to those naturally found in soybeans. Attilio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Soy is garbage. Soy was listed as an industrial product in the " Merck guide " until the 1930s, I believe. Soy has to be fermented in order to remove its husk (phytic acid), which blocks all nutrition from entering the body. In many foods, it is NOT removed. Soy is a ploy, foisted upon the public by the big companies. Soy even brags about its shelf life. Remember: long shelf life= short human life.
