@surftohealth88 While Soy is generally accepted as being ‘good’ for PCa, there are MANY variables that affect its ability to exert positive effects on any given population. In fact, it has both androgenic and estrogenic effects, so which one is doing the job??
I read an 12 page article on ICUROLOGY.ORG which for some strange reason I cannot seem to paste to the forum, exploring the different kinds of soy products and the men it positively affects.
In a stunning turnaround, it seems to have NO effect on Asian men - something that’s been drummed into our heads for decades; it does, however, have a positive effect on Latino and Black men.
Also, the benefit is directly related to the grams of unfermented soy (milk - NOT tofu!) consumed per day and that # is approx 150 grams…a LOT!
Finally, any benefit at all was small and ONLY clinically significant in men with small, localized PCa or low grade PCa; it had ZERO effect on men with intermediate grade or higher.
So all the talk about the wonders of soy seem highly exaggerated.
I urge anyone pursuing soy as an alternative to dairy to find this article and read it; it is a meta analysis of ALL studies ever done relating to soy and PCa and covers millions of men in those studies.
If I can find a way to download it here I will…Best,
