🧬 Most people think soy mimics estrogen.
Dr. William Li
0:00 Plant estrogens, phytoestrogens from soy, don't actually mimic human estrogen.
0:05 It blocks human estrogen.
0:07 It's kind of Mother Nature's tamoxifen,
0:09 which was designed a drug designed to block human estrogen.
0:11 So, the real question is whether or not soy is a good cancer fighter.
0:16 Yes, it blocks human estrogen for estrogen responsive cancers.
0:19 Number one.
0:20 Number two, these phytoestrogens, one of them is called genistein,
0:23 I've done research on this, potently starves
0:26 cancer by cutting off the blood supply.
0:28 So, now you're boosting your body's own ability
0:31 to starve a cancer so it can't grow.
0:33 If you're a skeptic, you might say, "Prove it to me." Well, how about this?
0:36 A study called the Shanghai Breast Cancer Study looked at 5,000
0:39 women who were at the highest risk for breast cancer.
0:42 Why?
0:43 Because they already have breast cancer.
0:44 Super high risk, okay?
0:46 And they found that those women who consumed the most soy,
0:49 about a cup of soy milk a day, 10 g of soy protein a day,
0:52 had a 30% decreased risk of dying of their breast cancer.
0:57 That's mortality.
