[Guest guest]

Thanks Zev, for posting " Phytoestrogen intake and

endometrial cancer risk. "

By the way, I also saw your name published in Medline for a

piece about prostate cancer recently. Could you tell us a

little more about that?

>>>What about the so-called anti-nutrient effects of soy or the claims that soy

harms the thyroid? has anybody been following this controversy?

I've followed it somewhat. From what I've seen however, the studies do

not use prepared soy products such as miso, tofu or tempeh, but

isolates from soybeans or soy milk. It appears that excessive amounts

of soy can be harmful in non-fermented forms, partially because of its

phytic acid content (which is largely eliminated in fermentation).

 

Also, some people have more sensitivity to soy than others.
