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.
