i have been taking soy supplements daily. a co-worker told me it can cause ovarian cancer.|||Like many food %26amp; supplement - cancer issues, there are a variety of opinions but this peer reviewed study seems to indicate soy intake corresponds to reduced levels of ovarian cancer.

And alot of garbage food is made out of soy. Likely, it is the MSG in such foods that is the culprit. A soy supplement is worthless. But, it also is not dangerous.

Health advantages come from eating a healthy and balanced diet high in raw fruits and vegetables. It actually is detrimental to eat much in the grains category (like rice, soy, corn etc.) but this is RELATIVE. It%26#039;s a HELL of alot better than eating twinkees, but you would be ill served by a diet that gets most of its calories from grains. Meat should be your main source of calories while vegetables should the bulk of your diet. Grains in moderation. Drink only water. That%26#039;s a healthy diet. Supplementing soy does nothing. Yeah, it%26#039;s a phytoestrogen but its action is negligible.

Which brings up the main reason women take a soy supplement….hormonal imbalance. A healthy diet will clear much of that up. But, a soy supplement will have no effect. For bad PMS or for symptoms of menopause, natural progesterone cream will give you the effect you are looking for, while soy, and other sources of %26quot;phytoestrogens%26quot; will not. The reaons would take a whole book to explain. Which book? Follow the link below:

Note that Lee writes other books more focused on women with premenopause or bad PMS etc. They all have the same content pretty much.
