“…In a separate study, The National Cancer Institute found that soy consumption early in life conferred protection against breast cancer later.
The women interviewed were of Chinese, Japanese and Filipino ancestry … and lived in California or Hawaii.
The findings revealed that those who had consumed the largest amounts of soy foods as children … (between ages five and 11) …
… lowered their risk for breast cancer by 60 percent as adults.
The amount of soy recommended for women to help protect against breast cancer is 25 to 35 grams per day.
The soybean is the only vegetable that contains more protein than carbohydrates.
Protein is made from building blocks called amino acids.
They are linked together in a chain.
Of the 20 amino acids found in the body … eight are considered essential because the body can’t make them … so they must be consumed.
Soy protein contains all of them.
Therefore, it’s a perfect source of protein for humans…”
